Delete orphaned packages

Geez, Epiphany is a crash-prone web browser.

On the up-side of my Ubuntuing today, I found out how to find and delete orphaned packages using Synaptic. I saved almost 30 megs in orphaned packages. I saved a lot more also by deleting unused languages and locales.

Here's how to do the former:
1. Go into Synaptic.
2. Go to Settings > Filters
3. Create a new filter called "Orphaned Packages". Deselect all the checkboxes except for "Orphaned" (in the right column).
4. Now, whenever you want to look at the orphaned packages, click the Custom button in Synaptic. I recommend looking at the dependant packages of each of the orphans, just to check that they don't include something that sounds important.

In a few days I'll download either a Ubuntu, Kubuntu or Xubuntu Dapper CD, and try it out on my 'puter. I'm very interested in the speed and memory improvements in the new Gnome, but I'd also like to know what KDE is like; and I also hear good things about the new Xfce and Thundar.
