Hi --- Is there a way to print all of the installed programs by
category. I would like to know what development libraries and tools are
installed and also what is installed that I never use. 

Basically I want to remove everything not in use so that another upgrade
will take less time. Once I remove a program, library, or something
else, how will I know that there will be no affected dependencies.

Also is there something which will reveal that an executable or library
has never been used or infrequently used.

I have not installed many packages outside the portage sandbox. Most
packages that were installed outside portage were installed in a
non-portage area within usr.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

Note: Why are there administration, laptop, and server related posts at
gentoo-user and less at gentoo-admin or the other ones? The amount of
emails at gentoo-user is too high volume IMO.

Why not remove gentoo-user and instead add more lists like
gentoo-install, or whatever else. The gentoo-user list is misleading
since every user using gentoo is a user. It should be removed instead.
