Thanks to those who didn't jump on me for being off subject : )

My general impression is that Fink users are cross pollinated
Most have both *nix and Apple background experiences

Fink kind of seems like a GNU folks thing, Apple abled.

Question 2: What hath Steve wrought?

There seems to be three main camps in the world today
(the order is for a pretty format, nothing else, forgive)

Apple
Microsoft
Gnu/Linux/FreeBSD/what's left of Unix

(my apology to Amiga, Atari, et al : )

Based on date X user % figures and slowing PC sales
Everybody can't win here, there has to be one or more losers

Steve's next (sorry, couldn't resist : ) new thing, OS X
Seems like a huge gamble to me, it could be either

A. Fink (etc) brings lots of good free apps to Mac, Apple sales increase
B. Fink turns Apple users on to Gnu/Linux/xBSD/etc, everybody leaves

OS X seems pivotal, but I don't know how exactly

Any thoughts?
