They discuss Fink's relationship with Apple, integration of their Unix/Linux ports to Mac OS X via Debian's packaging solution, ease of use on installation of the .deb packages, AltiVec optimizations and more."

    You said:
    "Congratulations, you just demonstrated a complete and total lack of knowledge of how the proprietary software cycle works."

    Indeed, I naively assumed that Apple's Open Source OS initiative would deliver a few system administration tools (such as a full-featured package manager) that I had taken for granted under RedHat Linux. Ha ha on me. Moving on, thank you Fink for filling the gap. I admire your endurance as an Apple apologetic. I lost that zeal years ago.

    Peace.
