What _applications_ are you talking about?
Browser? lynx
Mail reader? pine
File manager? mc
Spreadsheet? sc
You should find all of these (and more!) in your "distros".
However, you should not be surprised that commercial distros
are orientated toward point-and-click eye-candy. That's
where the market is these days and they naturally go with
the flow.
Cheers,
Steven
