Fink or Macports?
st3fan: MacPorts is pretty decent and I use it to install all kinds of software that I need. Couple of notes though:I frequently hack the Portfiles to tweak things and add configuration options that I need. Most packages are pretty decent but some need something special that the original maintainer did not think of.Upgrading your MacPorts install does not work. Specially when packages have dependencies. It's just flakey. So what I  do is simply delete /opt/* and install all the ports that I use again. Little painful but I think I don't do this more than a couple time a year or so.
