If you want compact unix programs, don't use X apps or apps written in
scripting languages like Perl and Python. FreeBSD by itself doesn't offer the
monstrous APIs that Windows offers; it just offers an implementation of the
standard C library (libc). As a result, stock FreeBSD is a very barebones
environment.
