This doesn't seem right so I am looking for pointers on how to trim down
this list of what I perceive as excessive bloat. Included is the list of
"stuff" Lenny wants me to install. I've marked some of the things I think I
know what they are which are features I for sure don't want but at the same
time I don't want a busted unusable system by forcibly not installing them.
Any advice or wisdom from those who have gone before me to do battle
against dependencies would be greatly appreciated!
'aptitude why some_package' can be useful.
