[PD] [OT] Darwinports vs Fink vs GentooOSX vs ???

[shreeswifty]

i abandoned darwin for sake of ease and use fink/X11 rather well 
for PiDiP, pdp etc. As for other unix apps i have found Fink very 
handy in building fossa, snd, atsh, freewrl,OSG etc...

still would love to get my 2|6 card working properly in pd OSX 
though :-)

my $0.02
