Craig, yes, and no. I am actually looking for a list of software
packages that can be removed without breaking the running OS. like for
example bluez-libs or cronie-anacron which isn't necessarily needed
for a bare-minimum system to run.

I honestly don't just want to delete stuff that I don't know if it
could break something, so I was hoping maybe someone knows of a list
(on a wiki / blog / etc) that has a really bare minimum list of
software that needs to be on a server to function.

I could install anything else later on if I need to though.
