Your beautiful base system ready for most Internet-related tasks does
not have a:
- GUI
- browser
- media player
- email client
- IRC client
- office suite
I'm wondering what you consider "most" internet tasks. If I want a
basic internet desktop, I need to install a couple hundred ports to
achieve that.
If I want a server that follows best practices, I have to install
openssl from ports, which means I *can't* use the in-base sendmail even
if I wanted to.
