A cleanup I like is `localepurge', which is
newbie-friendly and easy:
Description: Automagically remove unnecessary locale data
After an installation it's pleasant to see the comment
telling me how much space it saved. I suspect the total for
me is somewhere in the high hundreds of megs, since I ditch
everything but English.
_But_! As for `safe', attend to the further paragraphs
in the description, which include such gems as
Please note, that this tool is a hack [...]
and therefore is not for the faint of heart.
[....] Responsibility for its usage and possible
breakage of your system therefore lies in the
sysadmin's (your) hands.
and
If you don't know what you are doing [...]
please simply don't use this package.
Nonetheless, I installed it and it's worked nicely for
over a year, with no breakage. (I've been following
unstable all the while.)
Best wishes
Max Hyre
