    The best protection against vulnerable software is running less software. This section describes how to review
    the software which <product-name-macro /> installs on a system and disable software which is not needed. It
    then enumerates the software packages installed on a default <product-name-macro /> system and provides guidance about which
    ones can be safely disabled.
    <br /><br />
    <product-name-macro /> provides a convenient minimal install option that essentially installs the bare necessities for a functional
    system. When building <product-name-macro /> systems, it is highly recommended to select the minimal packages and then build up
    the system from there.
