Hi,

As a followup to a conversation I had with Alexander (asac) on IRC, i'd like to request the addition of some packages to the headless image. This is to make the images more useful out-of-the-box.

• ifplugd (dhcp networking)
• screen (multiple terminals over a serial console)
• vim (or any other more complete editor than the vi that ships with busybox)
• openssh (atleast server)

More useful tools to consider (but might be more insteresting only to kernel devs)

• lsusb
• latencytop

Latencytop just became less useful after it was redone in GTK. *sigh*

• input-utils
• iotop
