Yes, it depends on what packages you're looking for, but the general answer would be: no problem, go for it. I've had fink on a MacBook Pro since March and have seen the package database grow steadily. Everything I need is now available. I'd suggest you have a look at the list at fink.sf.net to find out if your favorite package is supported. I've had one instance recently where a package was listed as being available on Intel, and it actually wasn't available yet: that's maxima. I'm sure this will only be a matter of time, though, until it's also available (it's a dependency problem). Just for completeness, here is the message I get when trying to install maxima (from unstable on Intel, after fink selfupdate): Failed: Can't resolve dependency "clisp (=2.35-1001)" for package "maxima-5.9.2-2" Regards, Jens ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Using Tomcat but need to do more?
