Removed programs, including evolution

So, there’s a lot that comes with Ubuntu that I don’t use. I decided to be adventurous and remove things. First, I used the add/remove applications feature. With this I got rid of the sticky notes application and some other minor things. Then I moved on to the big ones. I just removed evolution and associated packages with this command:

> sudo apt-get remove evolution evolution-common evolution-data-server evolution-exchange evolution-plugins evolution-webcal

Then I removed pidgin:

>  sudo apt-get remove pidgin pidgin-data pidgin-otr

Hopefully nothing will break.

installed xine

I like to use the xine-ui to watch DVDs. So I reinstalled it last night with:

> sudo apt-get install xine-ui

Unfortunately, it’s not working well. I’m not sure if it’s the DVD that I have or if it’s xine, but in any event that DVD kept freezing. I’ll try another DVD later and see if the problem is the same.
