However, I love my iBook to death and really don't care which tells me I made a good choice.

Wasn't there supposed to be a package manager 10.3 (Score:4, Interesting)
What happened with that? Do any developers have any insights?

Also, what's going on with the metapkg alliance [metapkg.org]? Sounded promising, but doesn't look like there's much activity. Looks like Fink is the de facto packaging standard on OS X for now.

As for metapkg, the idea of a huge database of packages kind of died out, but we've started trying to fill out the wiki with useful porting info, hopefully in time it will become more useful.
Also, the mailing lists are there for anyone wanting to post problems, but we're getting about 2 e-mails a month, so it's not really happened much.
Metpkg was never going to be a new joint packaging system, only a resource for all of the packaging groups to avoid some duplication of work by sharing patches for ported software and compilation tips and such.

I didn't. Then I installed fink. Upon adding add'l software via fink, I found that I needed the SDK.
So I'm reinstalling Xcode now, w/ the SDK.

Also, be sure to have XCode installed first.
And, for some reason it decided to build an X11 package, even though I installed Panther with X11, and XCode with the X11 SDK.
Anyway, don't do it if you need your computer for anything other than surfing for a day.
