Well that may be, but I still don't like their name. How do you tell someone you run Yellow Dog? What your run Cowardly Dog!
Why not call it Dogcow Linux.

It all works very well together. They've done an excellent job.

For example, X11 has a full package (if installing from fink) as well as a "dummy" package you install if you install from Apple. The dummy package takes care of all dependency problems with other packages. I've got Apple's X11 installed, yet I've installed KDE, Gnome, and others from fink.
