"I agree with the needing to install their dev crap to get gcc/make, and about Steve Jobs. Not sure about package management issues, I don't see a need for it. Ports(http://www.macports.org/) is nice for command line stuff, other than that I don't see a need for any package management inside of OSX. "
The advantage to apt is speed and flexibility; it is just a program that allows you to install apps via the command line. The real underlying advantage is the structure of the package management and by association the dependency management when installing software off a repository. Whether you use apt, aptitude, synaptics, or you just download debs and install them, M$ and Apple have nothing that is comparable. Chris... On Tue, Dec 1, 2009 at 11:28 PM, Roger E.
