It is possible to save more space. Debian packages tend to split off the X/Ncurses/etc dependencies into separate packages. And then they separate the headers into -dev. So this in theory would save space over Gentoo. I personally think that any space savings is worthless since I have 80 gb in a laptop and don't see how anything but media actually takes up valuable amounts of space. 300kb is nothing. 4mb is not much. 100mb is just starting to be visible. I am just glad I don't have to live in the Commodore 64 times anymore ;) Attachment:
