Nepomuk can be disabled, but I don't have a problem with removing it.
I think Akonadi can be disabled as well but I haven't tried it.

LaTeX / TeXLive is *humongous*! A "moderate" installation is at least
300 MB and the whole boat comes to about 3 GB. Inkscape (and Scribus
and GIMP and a video editor and sometimes Blender) are usually found
on "multimedia" distros, so I'd like to see them. And of course CSound
needs to be on an *audio* distro.
I agree. I don't think we *need* LaTex. What propose would it serve in
the spin. We already have lilypad for engraving. Inkskape and gimp i
would like to see still be on the spin, but i won't cry if we remove them

Yeah, if Konqueror wasn't integrated into KDE like IE is in Windows
I'd say pull Konqueror. I built a machine from the Fedora KDE Live CD
a while ago only to discover that Firefox and LibreOffice weren't
there - Konqueror and Calligra had taken their place.
I don't use an email client any more. I'm not paranoid about Google
reading my mail just yet.
Jupp. Never liked Konqueror, never will. I'm a chrome
man myself, but i
feel firefox should be the default browser. Although I'm not afraid of
google reading my emails (they probably do), I like to have a good email
client to help get all my different email account come to one spot
instead of opening 3-4 tabs to check all of them.
What is the default email client in KDE?
