Great! An answer I can sink my teeth into.
Could you elaborate a bit on this, though? What kinds of things did you
want stripped out? And did you investigate whether you could strip them
out in a packaged distro, and it turned out to be too difficult? If so,
what kinds of difficulties did you find?
I'm not looking for flame fodder, either. I really want to know. Any
detail you could provide would be appreciated.
