Hi all,

   So, I have a gentoo install that's slowly evolved over the past 3 years
or so years.  It's now so cluttered with packages, it's becoming ridiculous,
especially for a headless server.  What I'd like to do is be able to remove
all KDE/Gnome/X/gtk/qt/...etc out of the machine and not have it break the
machine completely.

Any suggestion on how to do go about this?  At this stage, I'd like the
server to have  the basic system build, LAMP, and Postfix.

If I start removing packages, then revdep complains about dependencies and
ends pulling back the packages I had removed, same thing with world.  I
globally removed all the X related flags I can think of.

Also, in the process of switching to a hardened profile, which is one reason
why I wanted to clean up the install.

Thanks again,

Any help would be appreciated.
