• X11.app X server
• Fink and MacPorts package managers
  • (may replace MacPorts with Homebrew and use Fink only for things not found in Homebrew such as FireFox and nedit)
• From source tar balls
  • dwm tiling window manager
• Fink
  • FireFox (browser)
  • Alpine (email)
  • nedit - language mode files (including PHP): http://www.nedit.org/ftp/contrib/highlighting/
  • midnight-commander
• Homebrew
  • Note: to install homebrew formula, it may be necessary to move /sw to a temporary location, and comment out the line "test -r /sw/bin/init.sh && . /sw/bin/init.sh" from .bashrc prior to running a "brew install" command. If a formula fails due to missing symbols in a .so this is almost certainly what you need to do to get it to build.
  • htop
  • alpine
  • weechat (for Jabber: easy_install xmppy, then put http://www.weechat.org/files/scripts/jabber.py in ~/.weechat/python/autoload)
  • elinks
  • midnight-commander
  • dmenu (if it works)
  • keychain (store svn credentials - if you use svn+ssh)
