Mac OS X and linux progs. with fink

If you have Mac OS X then you should also get FINK if you are into running open source programs on your Mac. Dont forget to test XDarwin (http://www.xdarwin.org/)

get FINK at:
http://fink.sourceforge.net/


A great explanation can be found here:

Althought some changes have occured. Rootless is part of the new version of xfree86 so you just have to select it(xfree86) from the Finkcommander and it installs XDarwin.

Next move will be to find KDE - base system.

Dont forget add this:

. /sw/bin/init.sh
/sw/bin/startkde >/tmp/kde.log 2>&1

to the file .xinitrc in your home directory.
