A Debian-style system (fink) is already on Mac OS X, but now it seems that Gentoo's Portage is going to be available for it. Gentoo's announcement can be found on their web site. I can't wait until we see what the Gentoo team has prepared."

    I love Mac OS X, but I'm also a fan of running Gentoo Linux because of its powerful package management system.

    Ladies and gentlemen, in case you're wondering, THIS is what "missing the point" looks like in its purest form.

    Anybody who chooses their operating system based not on the software that's available for that operating system but the method for installing that software is missing the point. Grandly.
