Fink

[chickenfeet]

This post is for geeky Mac users. If, like me, you believe that open source software is a good thing and occasionally play around with the BSD subsystem on your Mac you might want to get hold of Fink.

It is a utility for downloading installing and configuring a whole raft of unix programs from games to utilities. Looks rather neat and user than messing about as the root user to install binaries.

Ah, Fink. A lovely program.

I also recommend OS X FAQ's Unix tutorial (http://www.osxfaq.com/Tutorials/LearningCenter/index.ws) so that you can actually do stuff with Unix. :)
