Keep in mind that the numbered profiles aren't intended to be "choices" for a user to pick between. It is more about version control to allow major changes to be made to the distro, so that if any kind of migration is necessary your system won't break in terrible ways because different packages are configured differently depending on when they were installed. You should always use the latest profile version, and you should always follow the news instructions when changing them. -- Rich
