I’m not usually one for blog memes, but what the hell :)

A downside of vrms is that it can only look at packages installed via the OS packaging system. I know I have the Adobe Flash Plug-in installed (manually) as well. Nevertheless, the result isn’t too bad, and I think I could do without all of those proprietary packages if I wanted.

On my main workstation at home
