Making Linux Mint Smaller

Continuing with the LM 18 install on the Dell Inspiron 1000 that I di yesterday, it was time to remove unwanted programs, bear in mind that the lappie will have a very specialized use, therefore I can remove a lot of stuff that I'm positive I won't be needing.

When I started the base install (with all updates installed) it was like this:

/dev/mapper/mint--vg-root   54G  5,8G   46G  12% /

Right now (and I plan to keep removing stuff) it is like this:

/dev/mapper/mint--vg-root   54G  4,3G   47G   9% /

To get back those GBs I removed:

• Libreoffice
• Gimp
• Foreing fonts
• Banshee
• Pix
• Hexchat
• Xfburn
• Thunderbird
• Pidgin
