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
    nmap
    netcat
    tcpdump
    tree
    lsblk

If debian-based, add ``build-essential``, ``openssh-server``, ``manpages-dev``,
``iproute``, and it's ``git-core`` (not ``git``) and ``mtr-tiny`` (not
``mtr``). 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.
