darwinports.org

Darwinports the next step. This i just one of the ways to get all the familiar Unix applications running om my machine. Here's how to get the port installed.

There's a similar project called Fink, which I have not tested or used yet. Fink is a port of debian package handling system. There's a guy who blogged a comparison af Fink and Darwin.

I tested Darwin by installing wget, one of my favorite Unix tools, which I found that I really missed. sudo port -v install wget did the trick nicely, And I can now grap those sites using wget.
