What I really miss in Debian based systems is something like a world file. After a while you have so much stuff installed, you don't need. And it's hard or even impossible to exactly find out what you don't want to have installed anymore.


Have you ever looked in /var/lib/portage/world?

He talked about Debian-based systems, not Gentoo. There's no world file equivalent in Debian, that's what he meant.

I misunderstood then. I thought he meant that Debian systems had a world file and Gentoo systems did not.
