I only use applications which I really need, and I stick to CLI/base ones. $ portmaster -l | grep installed ===>>> 169 total installed ports I do not need to clean periodically, although obviously few times I deleted leftover dotfiles from removed apps. I don't have GTK+ and I'm waiting for new Opera, to get rid of Qt. regards, - Jakub Lach
