That's a distro thing. A slackware or debian setup will not have much superfluous stuff installed.

- kunley 16y agoThe Linux numbers were actually taken from Debian. On both families of systems you can decide what to rule out and this is healthy thing to do. But, you know, there's still a difference in thinking. On BSD I'm sure what constitutes a core system and what belongs to the ports -- and that's what I was writing about, not the sum of programs installed but splitting them into sub-hierarchies in a sane way. Such distinction provides a subtle kind of hygiene which occasionally can be a savior. But yeah well it can be appreciated when you just use it for a while.
