<title>Profiles</title>
<para>
In some cases, it may be desirable to take advantage of commonly-used,
predefined configurations provided by nixpkgs, but different from those that
come as default. This is a role fulfilled by NixOS's Profiles, which come as
files living in <filename><nixpkgs/nixos/modules/profiles></filename>.
That is to say, expected usage is to add them to the imports list of your
<filename>/etc/configuration.nix</filename> as such:
</para>
<programlisting>
imports = [
<nixpkgs/nixos/modules/profiles/profile-name.nix>
];
</programlisting>
<para>
Even if some of these profiles seem only useful in the context of install
media, many are actually intended to be used in real installs.
</para>
<para>
What follows is a brief explanation on the purpose and use-case for each
profile. Detailing each option configured by each one is out of scope.
