Question of Interest

[Dinosaur]

Hello!

Just a question of interest:
How have you packed so much software to just two CDs?

Thank you.

P.S.: I was very impressed by your quick answer to my previous question.  
There're not much places where the support is so good. Thank you again. ;)

No one seems to be jumping on this one. While I can take no credit 
myself for this feat (and bow down humbly to those who can), I'll 
take a stab at a short answer:


* standardized, interchangeable, re-usable parts
* philosophical aversion to bloatware
* much of the software included is not really on the discs, it's 
just pointed to from within the ports tree and downloaded on demand
