I was wandering about universal binaries and Fink too (although hadn't asked!)
Put simply then (since i've not got that far to grips with development stuff on the mac yet), if i were to buy an Intel Mac, would Fink work the same as it does now? Albeit i realise i'd have to start from scratch again. It would just transparently handle the switch in endianess (SP?)? I plan on buying one sometime in the next sixth months.
