Gigarank VPS - preinstalled packages

[kentwiggins]

Why Gigarank Centos 6.x x86 VPS come with a lot of extra packages preinstalled?
I think that those extra packages slows down VPS's and I think not everyone is using all of them.
Example of packages: perl, python, curl, gzip, vim etc
I think it should come bear bones and users install whatever packages they need.

That's an excellent suggestion. Better yet, maybe we could ask @"un4saken" to create an option without all of the loaded packages installed in addition to the ones we already have. I.e., have both. As some people do like the extra packages.

In my specific case I would have loved the option without the packages, as WEBUZO asks for no additional packages to be installed before installing WEBUZO. The additional packages created lots of conflict at the beginning. I was able to uninstall the ones that were a problem via the WEBUZO panel, but took me a while to realize that that had been the problem.
