I think if you don't use any of those other programs then you don't |
| 103 |
need them, and if you install anything that needs them it'll pull them |
| 104 |
in automatically. :) They're mostly low-level utilities. If your |
| 105 |
system is working as-is then I don't think you'll be missing out on |
| 106 |
anything by leaving it alone (after putting xorg-server into your |
| 107 |
world file of course). |
