Ok folks, sorry for the lack of new posts over the last week, it has been a bit crazy for me and keeping up with everything has been a bit difficult. I promise over the next couple of weeks you are going to be amazed with the plethora of stuff I’ve got for you. To get started, here is a useful little tool for running Linux or UNIX programs in Mac OS. Yes, I know we’ve been a bit Apple centric around here lately, but don’t worry, I’m getting my Windows on too and for there will be plenty of tips and useful stuff for those of you that just gotta have some of that Microsoft lovin’.
This one comes via that amazingly useful site, Lifehacker, and gives you step-by-step instructions for installing Fink and Fink Commander. Fink is basically a ports collection based on Debian’s dpkg and APT, and a package management system to handle installation and uninstallation, etc.. Fink Commander is a nice GUI to help out. I’ve known about Fink for along time, and even tried to install and use it when I first got my MacBook Pro, but it was a royal pain and I quickly gave up. These instructions make it easy and clear, and really make the process simple.
