Which system of *Nix ports for OSX have people been most successful

maybe more complete, and OSXGentoo is more of a proof-of-concept than
something usable as far as I can see. Suggestions in this department....fink is what I've used for the last 4 years...I've had no
"show-stopper" problems, just make sure you're grabbing from
cvs/rsync...it also installs both dylibs and statics, and dylibs will
be linked against before statics (unless you make things explicit),

between machines...
Yeah, fink works well for me too. I am a big Debian fan, so its nice
to have the same system on OSX too.
