I'm curious. What applications/programs/tools do you purge from the stock Ubuntu installations?
Here's my first command on every new Ubuntu machine - desktop/server ... doesn't matter.
Why?
I love how flexible Linux is that we can customize our machines - and automate that customization through tools and scripts - to get a system we like, enjoy using, and is 100% mine.
So - what's in your list?

Code:
sudo apt-get purge nano gedit leafpad compiz unity-scope* unity-asset-pool geoclue-ubuntu-geoip network-manager chrome
- It all started with just purging nano - usually the first visudo on the machine reminds me to purge it. It isn't called nanosudo for a reason. Don't need extra editors myself - though on desktops where programming happens I install geany. Don't misunderstand, I'm not against nano being the default editor on a desktop, but servers are completely different.
- Pretty GUIs get in the way for me. No "cheese" needed.
- Then there is the tracking and social media stuff that I'd rather not have. Nautilus and brasero are dependent on something in here, so be aware of that if you use those programs. I do not.
- I find network-manager gets in the way more than it helps with my networking. For a few years, I'd fight with it trying to get it to do something simple and it failing. Sometime in 2013, I'd had enough.
