Get rid of your Linux bloat. Part 2.
So in part one we disabled unwanted or unneeded programs from starting up when we turn on our computer. However those programs are still installed and taking up space. This space could be better used for other things. Important things like music, movies, recipes or maybe even some work related stuff.
Our aim here is for a lean mean Linux machine so as the walrus said the time has come to take the ax to those unused programs. For that we need to know exactly what programs we have installed. This is quite easily achieved with a command line program. Sorry GUI peoples the point'n'click programs could be used but are harder to explain in a blog.
These commands are the real guts of your distributions package management and generally there are two types of package management in use.
