Being familiar with Portage I didn't like Fink much when I used it; |
11 |
there are CLI utilities that I miss on OS X and I'd install Gentoo-OSX |

in a flash if I thought it was reasonably usable, but IMO the prefixed |

install is essential for gaining user confidence (particularly |

considering the caution of the average Mac user!). |
