Quoth Paul Libbrecht on or about 2004-11-11:
The *REAL* problem, as I see it, is that Apple were impolite enough not to bundle Fink and the libraries with your system, which is what Linux vendors do. (That's why Debian has 7 CDs and OS-X only has 1.5.)
And that would mean endorsing Fink! Although Fink's quality standard is quite high, I would not expect it to reach, for example, Apple's standards...
But we're drifting...
Then let me just say then, that IMO distributing *no* product is a damn sight less useful than distributing a poor product.
Note that I'm not talking about preinstalling anything, just that a `contrib' DVD (with a big warning sticker about unreliablility, if you like) be included with new Macs.
