   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.
