kuching girls aren't easy

i have to admit it - i've been pampered all this while by gentoo's excellent portage. installing stuff is just a single command, and everything works, almost flawlessly and perfectly. but not so on mac os x. there's the gentoo-alt prefix project, an attempt to bring portage to other linux distro. installing it on mac os x is a breeze. but after everything is installed, it's pretty much useless. there aren't even ebuilds for apache or php or mysql! gross! after spending whole morning trying to port apache2's ebuild, i just gave up. at 450 lines, its just too time consuming to make it work on mac os x. but that's gentoo - a lot of work has been done by the maintainers to make stuff install flawlessly in any combination of use flags.

so now i'm trying out macports, and so far so good.

and i've rm -rf'ed fink's /sw. fink sucks so bad it hurts.
