The problem I find with something like gnome, is that it pulls in a huge amount of dependencies, and it isn't always easy to cleanly remove it.

- tadfisher 14y ago`sudo apt-get autoremove --purge gnome*`
- ktf 14y agoAs someone who recently installed GNOME on a Xubuntu system and then uninstalled it, I can say firsthand that that still leaves a bunch of cruft, does not cleanly remove all packages. It's not GNOME's fault though -- it's an annoying issue with big metapackages. Same thing happened with XFCE on a stock Ubuntu install.
