Sorry if this is question is too basic.  I've looked at the mailing
list archive and the fink documentation but am still unsure of the
answer.

I've used fink for a couple of years now.  My core needs are X11,
emacs, xemacs, R, f77.  So far I've managed to compile these from
source through "install", moving from OS X 10.1 to OS X 10.2.  But I'm
far from a power user.

I so far haven't moved to 10.3, but now have a new G5 running 10.3.
So I need to install fink.  I'd like to install the same packages
listed above, and am thinking of dabbling with an Apple X11 + fink
combination (I've so far stayed away from Apple's X11).

My question: do you recommend I go with binaries; or try to build
where possible?  I'm aware that emacs has been problematic.

Thanks in advance for any recommendations --
