Hi,
 ... ok. here the 'to-be-immediately-installed-{packages|ports}'
 from a rather 'normal user'.
 I'm used to install the following types of systems:
        * Internet-Gateway / Firewalls
        * Personal Workstations
        * Business Servers (tm) ;) (Samba / intranet, etc)
        * Webserver

And the following packages / ports are the very firsts 
most of the time:

other useful tools:
    team
    screen
    less

various 'server'-applications
    qmail
    wide-dhcp (... hmmm, currently I'm thinking of switching to ISC-dhcp)

yes. but not on each system

    fetchmail
    mutt
    pgp

> - Compressers ([un]zip, bzip2...)
    zip / unzip 
    unrar
    bzip2

not to forget:
    apsfilter
    a2ps
    ghostscript


hmmm. but I have to admit that I'm used to do install
only the really important packages (see above) and then
do something like
[newmachine] scp whoops@klingklag:my-preferred-ports.sh .
[newmachine] ./my-preferred-ports.sh

Bye,
    Andreas
