Ah, is this a network (completely base) install [I hope you all start with
nothing and remove all but needed stuff at least?]?

X11/gdm/KDE

nmap, netcat,
iptraf
zsh
gdb, glibc, ddd, strace, valgrind, NLKD, GHex, Okteta, BIEW, hview(big
files), HT Editor, HexCurse, hexedit, Data Workshop,VCHE, DHEX (I hate
emacs)
vim
puppet (ruby)
perl
java
ssmtp (gmail)
snort (really easy to setup via puppet and leave logging to central place)
nagios (puppet setup)

depending on the boxes use:
eclipse

See my LinuxGazette column in July for the HackFest Puppet Theatre in August
for more on puppet configuration and installation.
