Written: The default profile will provide you with a Linux 2.6-based system. This is the recommended default, but you have the option of choosing another profile too. I think, that default profile will be 3.0.x-based system. Reproducible: Always
not for ppc and ppc64. the profile sets stable keywords, and right now there's no stable 3.x kernel for ppc/ppc64. still waiting on bug #387047. need to wait a bit longer for those arch teams to get their stuff stabilized.
But we can change this in x86/amd64 handbooks? Or we can change it only at once?
What do you mean with "default profile"? I'm not fully aware of any setting in the Gentoo profiles about kernel versions, at least not one that is only providing a 2.6-based system.

I'm not sure why it mentions it as-is. What if we just drop that paragraph?
(In reply to comment #5) > I'm not sure why it mentions it as-is. What if we just drop that paragraph? probably would make more sense without it. since stable keyword doesn't really matter when you have 3 available kernel slots in that keyword (2.4, 2.6, 3.x).
Paragraph updated. Thanks for reporting!
