Imagine: You've just installed a standard distribution of FreeBSD,
you're not going to run X for a while yet, and you need to install a
few programs from the packages collection to make your work easier.
Either you know what you want already or you haven't got a clue.
For those who haven't a clue I'm putting together a single package for
newbies that will install some extra documentation and then cause a few
other packages to be installed. (If you've installed KDE using the KDE
meta-package which installs its other packages, you've seen similar)
The idea was to include about five packages that I thought were
essential, and if anyone felt they had better choices they could build
their own :-) When I got these five essential package names out of my
head and onto paper, it turned out there were twelve of them! That's too
many for what I have in mind, so I'm asking for your suggestions. Nothing
fancy, just the real bread and butter stuff you couldn't live without.
As a newbie without X, if you could only install ten FreeBSD packages,
which ones would be essential for everyday use?
