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 :)
