My /usr/bin on a week old Linux Mint system with a few added packages 
(some editors, abiword, games, alpine and such) is only 171 MB.

I will send the contents of /usr/bin to your personal email as I doubt 
others want to see it.  Just posting it here so others will know someone 
has and you don't get dozens of ls outputs.
