Shortlisting software Friday Mar 15 10:11:01 2019 Last night I had some trouble with one of my FreeBSD installations on a SSD. The ZFS filesystem broke with an error message I was not able to find on the internet. Therefore I could not fix it and so I decided to reinstall it again. Installing FreeBSD without any additional components (no ports, no 32 compat libraries) is a blast. It only takes 5 or 10 minutes. After the base system installation I installed xorg and then I had to think (again) what basic software I need to survive at the command line. The shortlisting was quick: # pkg install dwm elinks mc most nano screen st surf tabbed wget And I can almost do anything I need to with those. It is true that I use other web browsers, for example firefox for banking and other similar stuff and some variant of mplayer for multimedia stuff, but apart from that I do not need any other fancy software for my everyday computing. Later will come git Have an awesome weekend guys :)
