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.
