I have been running gentoo on a few of my x86 computers for a while now, it works great, after it is setup it is very easy to admin, hopefully it will be as easy on osx.
well, it's interesting, even if most OS X users will have no idea what to with it. I'd use it, if I had a Apple... Oh well hopefully I'll get my hands on a power book in the near future
Ok, so we have pkgsrc, open packages, fink (apt by another name), and now gentoo/portage/whatever the freaking packaging system is actually called... Choices are good I guess.
I see openpkg and gentoo being redundant with pkgsrc, but fink is definitely a bit different, since it grabs binary packages most of the time (pkgsrc is basically like ports).
Having run Gentoo on a couple of my x86 boxes, this gets me a little excited. Although I want to keep OS X on my iBook, this gives me a chance to grab the latest OS X-compatible packages.
Although I'll look into pkgsrc as it seems to provide the same functionality.. now.
