-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
-    unzip
-    bzip2
-    emacs
-    mplayer
-    pork
-    xpdf
-    ctorrent
-    teTeX
-    ipython-py25
-    nginx
-    firefox
-    fluxbox
-    git
-    subversion
-    alpine
-    screen
-    python
-    vlc
-    xzgc
-    lyx
-    wget
-    curl
-    e2fsprogs
-    gtkchtheme
-    unison
-    unrar
-    ImageMagick
-    gitk
-    pv
-    htop
-    iftop
-    lsof
-    ngrep
-
-The following are large and/or "optional"::
-
-    xfce
-    apache
-    py25-matplotlib
-    py25-scipy
-    py-numpy
-    gimp
-    mit-scheme
-    eclipse
-    pidgin
-    wireshark
-
-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.

+Commonly Used Packages
+-------------------------
+
+Almost all machines get the following (decreasing minimalism):
+
+    bash
+    vim
+    unzip
+    bzip2
+    pv
+    htop
+    iftop
+    lsof
+    ngrep
+    screen
+    wget
+    curl
+    git
+    subversion
+    unrar
+    alpine
+    python
+    ipython
+    nginx
+    pork
+    e2fsprogs
+    unison
+    ctorrent
+
+If debian-based, add ``build-essential``, ``openssh-server``, ``manpages-dev``,
+and it's ``git-core`` (not ``git``). See also [debian].
+
+If it's not a headless machine I add:
+
+    gitk
+    vlc
+    xzgc
+    meld
+    emacs
+    gtkchtheme
+    pidgin
+    firefox
+    ImageMagick
+
+And then these are optional (heavier):
+
+    lyx
+    fluxbox
+    teTeX
+    mplayer
+    xpdf
+    xfce4
+    gimp
+    wireshark
+
+FreeBSD
+-----------------
+
+For a FreeBSD desktop workstation, I typically select an "X windows kernel
+developer" base system with ``sshd``, linux binary support, and NTP
+configured.
+
+The following extra packages must be fetch by hand (still?):
+
+    java ("Diablo Latte" jdk from FreeBSD Foundation)
+
+``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.
