Who actually cares if it's Unix or Linux, all the tools are practically the same? Do you have an actual coherent argument against this idea, or do you simply enjoy insulting people? As for how hard it would be, I do believe I DID concede that it would be a difficult project, however, maintaining one application to run a virtual machine cannot be as difficult as maintaining 1132 packages in addition to the fink binaries themselves. Do you have an answer to that, or are you too narrow-minded to conceive of the possibility that a thought by someone who you so obviously despise might have the tiniest bit of merit? ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by:ThinkGeek Welcome to geek heaven. http://thinkgeek.com/sf _______________________________________________ Fink-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/fink-users
