+========================
+FreeBSD Packages
+========================
+
+These are the packages I typically install for a workstation; this is after selecting an "X windows kernel developer" base system with ``sshd``, linux binary support, and NTP configured::
+
+    bash
+    vim
+    xmms-wma
+    xmms-flac
+    xmms-faad2
+    xmms
+    unzip
+    bzip2
+    emacs
+    mplayer
+    pork
+    xpdf
+    ctorrent
+    teTeX
+    ipython-py25
+    nginx
+    firefox
+    fluxbox
+    git
+    subversion
+    alpine
+    screen
+    python
+    vlc
+    xzgc
+    lyx
+    wget
+    e2fsprogs
+    gtkchtheme
+
+The following are large and/or "optional"::
+
+    xfce
+    apache
+    py25-matplotlib
+    py25-scipy
+    py-numpy
+    gimp
+    mit-scheme
+    eclipse
+    pidgin
+
+The following are added by download::
+
+    java ("Diablo Latte" jdk from FreeBSD Foundation)
+   
+Bulk Installation
+-----------------
+
+``pkg_add`` will fail with a ``getcwd`` error if you try to install many
+packages with the same command. Instead, once you have ``bash`` installed,
+you want to do something like::
+
+    $ for i in `echo vim screen python blah blah blah`; do pkg_add -r $i; done
+
+Note that with many packages it's almost impossible to avoid installing X 
+windows; I think there's a flag for this somewhere.
