     @dwd hell, if it removed 99% of Perl then I would *hug* it and give it cookies

     @bugabundo that's the advantage I have of living in the text world - 800 gig or so is just fine for me

     @bavatar Just kidding. I use #debfoster to clean up unused packages, and it works great.

     @crashsystems A fork of Yellow Dog Linux I started in 2001 to support GNUstep and better USB... Not really. I use Ubuntu like everyone else.

     @subnet I think I'd end up with a closet full of cynical self-deprecatory T-shirts, like #Roast_Beef in #Achewood.
