As a Gentoo Linux and a Macintosh user this is very very important to |

me - I think you hit the nail on the head. |

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 |
| 12 |
in a flash if I thought it was reasonably usable, but IMO the prefixed |
| 13 |
install is essential for gaining user confidence (particularly |
| 14 |
considering the caution of the average Mac user!). |

Good luck with that. Ulitmately I'd like to see Gentoo-OSX slay Fink |

mercilessly & with gushing blood. |
