sendmail (comes with os)
lynx (ascii web browser)
tcp wrappers (security purposes)
XFree86 (free xserver)
windowmaker (or whatever window manager you may wish)
apache (if you wish to have your machine funtion as
an httpd server)
pine (great for reading/writing/editing email locally)
less (great for viewing/editing text files functions
are simular to the more or page Command)
cucipop (that's if you wish to run as a POP3 server)
I may be missing a few but that should build a good base system...
