10 "emerge --depclean" does. Orphaned meaning "installed as a dependency
11 of something that is itself already deinstalled" (i.e. not in the
12 world-file). Be sure to check the list with "-p" before really doing
13 this!

18 Hm, I don't think so. Mine is similar: about 950MB. OpenOffice takes
19 370MB (it's the -bin version, it includes a lot of redundant
20 libraries). My GCCs take about 200MB (including java support). Then
21 there's Perl, 2x Python, 2x PHP and Wine's archive of windows DLLs. So
22 I think about 1G is quite normal for a typical desktop.
