It's more a package management system to help compile different open source projects while sorting through dependencies. I personally thought it was more trouble than it was worth by the time OSX reached 10.2. Most open source projects are mac-friendly enough to simply be compiled by the user or provided by Gerben in his i-Installer. Other systems (like ) are a bit less toxic to your machine, if you need the convenience of a package manager... but then you're still opening yourself up to the same problems you see on Linux! -- =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Adam T.
