Quickie:

I am something of a newbie to FreeBSD/open source.  Is there a "master
list" sort of reference somewhere that lists out all the jillions of
apps that come with FreeBSD and who wrote them/what they do?

Like, what is "egcs"?  "Tsk"?  Etc.  I feel like this is such a newbie
question, but I am really hoping that such a reference exists so I know
"what to use/where it is/how to use it" as I continue getting familiar
with FreeBSD.

I'm going through the install/config and I would like to be able to make
intelligent choices as to what packages/ports to include, etc.

Thanks for you help.
