Source was basically determined by observation of what I'd installed
when they began.  My Gnome libraries are somewhat mixed, because I've
only installed what I needed to in order to support Firefox and Logjam.
 The OS is a custom distro very distantly based on Slackware 7, but
sometime soon I need to finish the job of migrating over to Gentoo if I
can get X.org to play nice with my Matrox G450 and Sun 90D10.  I haven't
tried to profile it.
