Fink can be replaced by Darwin Ports (ala BSD ports). It isn't an either/or proposition. I have a need for ethereal/Nessus on my OSX laptop and installed Darwin ports to follow the blogged intructions that follow:

I still use Fink/Fink Commander for most apps (Gimp et al.) but apt-get type package managers abound. To say one is better than another is hard... My $.02
Just a few thoughts,

I haven't tried DarwinPorts yet.

So far fink gives me the tools I need. (ethereal, gnuplot, octave,etc.)

Guess I'll stay put.

absolutely right. He's really pushed back the boundaries of ignorance."

Clearly you have a security problem - and it's got nothing to do with computers.
