My hopes are to remove all the packages that have been installed as time progressed after the initial installation. I am fine with keeping the later versions that were not present on the installation media I used. >A use case would be great ... or is this a experiment? I suppose I can classify this as an experiment case, whereas I will likely later on try out various (which may include Apache, Samba, whatever really, etc) Debian packages on the system. This time I plan to keep better track of what I have installed so that the packages can be purged easily when I am finished with the application.
