| Congratulations to Osama Khalid (OsamaK) for being selected as the first 
| ever GNU Generation member of the month! Osama speaks Arabic natively, 
| and has been using this gift to help the free software community. He 
| worked with projects including KDE and VLC this past month to translate

| recently translated Holmes Wilson's blog post on Ogg Theora.

| I canât remove linux packages, we canât get an operating system without 
| a kernel. tangerine-icon-theme package is in direct dependency with 
| ubuntu-desktop so I prefer to keep it for future updates. Some times I 
| have to manipulate rar archives  so I have to keep unrar package too. 
| The modaliases packages are installed to find the sweetest proprietary 
| driver for the graphic card, and In my case I donât need them as my ATI 
| X1300 Pro works as a charm with the free driver.
|
| My final result :
| 
| 7 non-free packages, 0.4% of 1843 installed packages.
|
| So Mr RMS what do you think ?
