Next step is to install the gtkOrphan GUI. What gtkorphan does is to find packages that were once used but no longer have any purpose. Be careful as to not remove the Gstreamer packages as they are for mp3 encoder/decoding and DVD playback. Do not remove them. To install gtkOrphan type the following in a terminal windowt:
sudo apt-get install gtkorphan
You will then be able to use gtkOrphan by going to System--->Administraion--->Remove orphaned packages. It is pretty self-explanatory. After you have completed the recommendations of this article you should have a slick clean Ubuntu OS.
