Excellent point.

I have used mc for quite some time and have enjoyed it. It is one of my main
tools as well when I install Linux on any system, especially my Raspberry
Pi server builds.

The thought of creating a system from scratch for a specific purpose now seems
interesting to me. I think of the servers I have installed in the past that
come with lots of utils and pkgs I have no need for. If I build my own server
to complete only the tasks that I need. Speed and security could be greatly
improved.
