<puzzled/> What does this mean?
usermode/utempter - overlaps with sudo
I thought utempter does something completely different...
usermode-gtk provides the "type root password to run system-config-*" in X; while it does "overlap" with sudo, it can't be _replaced_ by sudo.
nut - nice package, but is it really core materal?
It is one of the basic utilities needed on a "serious" server of any kind.
dosfttools - looks like mtools superceeds this package.
The other way around - mounting is more useful than mcopy. But _both_ are required for mkbootdisk.
MAKEDEV - Superceeded by udev ?
Required by udev, actually.
talk - protocol is getting old with IM
UNIX kernel interface is "getting old" too.
planner - anther project managment tool
"Another"? What is the alternative?
g-wrap - Another wrapper for a development utility d:0
Required by gnucash.
