I installed Arch (i686) a year ago and played with it, but KDE wasn't 'ripe' enough for me, so I left it. Now I have recently made it my default boot option again and set it up (KDE still isn't perfect, but I don't think I'd like the other DE's, I hate GNOME) how I like it after cleaning off KDE/X from it and reinstalling.
When I originally played with it I installed things like emerald/compiz, and tried to install quite a few games. Now sticking with the 'Arch way', I don't want to reinstall a clean install (although I might convert to x64 once Flashx64 is finished cooking) but I do want to clean off my system of unneeded config files and libs, etc.
So just wanting to know if you have any advice on how to do that; clean configs and help keep my system running as fast as possible.
I have wicd and samba installed, but I removed then reinstalled them so I'm guessing this is why those packages don't take ownership of their configs? How would I rectify that?
