Disk Maintenance Day Changes (#14)

* Remove Thunderbird and Audacity. Don't add Geary to new installs but don't remove it in case it comes with the distro.

* Remove Thunderbird from Favorites.

* Add more systems to Dev branch.

* Add sudo so older distros don't ask for password on every app update.

* Alias for sync to help save some time typing.

* Post less often to hopefully allow keeping up a year of data in less than 16GB.
