[QUOTE="mrchaotica, post: 21440"] I'm a Linux user who just bought an iBook. I got it because OSX is UNIX, but much nicer looking than Xfree - and runs at least some games : ) Anyway, I was wondering how package management in OSX works. Windows has add/remove programs, BSD has Ports, Linux has {apt, rpm, gentoo portage}, but what is the equivalent for a Mac? Also, I was looking into Fink and DarwinPorts, and was wondering which is better? Actually, rather than better, which one is closer to being the "normal" or "standard" one, or more popular? Also, do I need either one at all? [/QUOTE]
