	There's definately something to be said for knowing intimately
every package installed on your system, there's also the distribution
downside of dependancy creep installing packages you might want but
certainly don't need (it's kinda scary what Debian thinks I need installed
to use Mozilla). That said, I certainly don't have the time to do it by
hand anymore.
