It's a way of installing *nux-based applications easily, downloading source code, managing prerequisites and dependencies, compiling and installing all the required libraries and dependent packages automatically, and doing it in a way that Apple updates will not break the installed applications. It is identical to what MacPorts (aka Darwinports) does; I think most of the up-to-date stuff has moved to the MacPorts project, but I could be wrong. Fink and Macports happily co-exist on a Mac, but you'll end up with duplicates of things like the Gnome libs because each installs in it's own directory structure. All applications installed in this fashion either run on the command line or via X-Windows; this is *not* a way of installing Mac-native ports of these applications...if they have one of those, there should be standard Mac installers for them. It's not that the most up-to-date stuff has *moved* to macports, rather, the fink devs are glacially slow at accepting updated packages. I submitted a package update to fink in january, and didn't receive any comments on it until april. I use and prefer fink because every time I switch to macports, after about six weeks the ports database gets corrupted and forces a reinstall of everything.

You might want to look for a GeeThree Stealth Serial Port device. It wouldn't work in your cube, but it should be installable into any G4 PM.

It functions identically to the serial ports that were built in to older macs.

I had a similar problem with the Apple Superdrive that came with my QS- it would read silver (pressed) DVDs and CDs, would refuse to read burned DVDs, or burn blank DVDs. It would burn and read CDs just fine, it just had trouble with DVDs. I think the lasers on the old optical drives just wear out after a while.
