I always hear some applications thrown out there that you should have to 
build software from source like gcc and vim, but is there a more 
complete list of what is required? I built up somewhat of a list for 
myself to track what I've installed, but there seems to be a lot of 
missing points. Some of the list is as follows (there is tons more, but 
this is what I feel this necessary as of now):
ncureses
libncurses-devel
ncursesw
libncursesw-devel
make
patchutils
gcc
gcc-mingw
zip
unzip
xorg-server
xinit
inetutils (for telnet)
openssh
nano
git
cvs
subversion
ruby

If I, and everybody else who needs, can get some help to atleast build 
some of the applications that everybody wishes that would be very 
beneficial! Thank you.
