Parent article: How would you shrink Fedora?

"Similarly, *obviously* sendmail(?!) and probably exim should go, leaving
postfix. Likewise, emacs, leaving xemacs. Likewise, most of the games,
perhaps leaving solitaire. The old "games help people who are afraid of
computers" argument lost all meaning long ago. Likewise, much of both
Gnome *and* KDE, and Xfce. (Should Perl and all its baggage go? Don't
tempt me!) Keep epiphany, abiword, and gnumeric, though; competition
helps there.

I use emacs, not xemacs. So do about 12 trillion people.
Games take up almost no room, so leave them, and yes, it DOES encourage
people to use...
Snore on you saying that about Gnome and KDE. Perl should stay. What are
you going to be doing with this box? Playing porn in FLuxbox?

"Show me a list of the packages, and I'll bet I could get it down to
three discs easily without anybody missing anything useful -- maybe even
two. Bloat, thy name is Fedora (... and Suse, and MS, and Mac. There's
more than enough blame to go around)."

You are boring.
