Commonly Used Packages
-------------------------

Almost all machines get the following:

    alpine
    apt-transport-https
    arandr
    bash
    build-essential
    bzip2
    ctorrent
    curl
    dar
    datamash
    dialog
    e2fsprogs
    font-liberations
    git
    htop
    iftop
    iproute
    ipython
    ipython3
    jq
    lsof
    lshw
    manpages-dev
    mosh
    mtr-tiny
    netcat
    nginx
    ngrep
    nmap
    openssh-server
    p7zip-full
    parallel
    pass
    pv
    python
    screen
    software-properties-common
    sshuttle
    stow
    subversion
    tcpdump
    tmux
    tree
    unison
    unrar
    unzip
    vim
    vim-pathogen
    wget

Some un-packages things I also install:

    golang
    ripgrep
    rustup
    xsv

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 (on BSD?)
    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.
