I want a full-function system with a decent MTA, a decent secure login facility, a decent time synchronization facility, a decent nameserver, and so on. I *don't* want a base system that isn't good for anything but eating CPU. This is not a question of getting the base system "pure" and to adhere minimalization efforts with a slightly religious attitude, but to have a base system that people can do something useful with. (Yes, I have several servers that don't have a single port installed because the base system just provides all I need.) Note that I don't care too much about *which* basic server software is included in the base system, however I admit that I have chosen FreeBSD for the reason that it has all the well-known stuff of sendmail, ssh, xntp and bind on board.
