Take a look at the package list (dpkg -l) and remove anything you don't want. If it's essential for running, apt will let you know via dependencies or big warnings. Generally there's really not much running off of a fresh install with no options. You could probably ditch inetd and portmap unless you need them. deborphan will help you remove unnecessary libraries. I don't know of a canonical list of things to remove though. Matthew H.
