I'm working with some *nix software and I'm finding conflicting info regarding what's required with my 10.3.6 Powerbook.<br />
<br />
I understand that the BSD Subsystem is now 'installed' by default, but I'm unclear about Fink. &nbsp;I like the idea of using finkcommander (to visually show package dependencies) but i'm unsure about installing 'fink' [ironic, i know :-) ] <br />
<br />
have you installed Fink/Finkcommander on a 10.3.x system?<br />
<br />
thanks.<br />

Mac OS X is the desktop operating system from Apple Inc., found on Macintosh computers. OS X consists of a Mach/BSD-based kernel, operating system interfaces primarily based on FreeBSD and additional frameworks (written in C, C++ and Objective-C providing user interface and application-level services.

Mac OS X

Apple's early computers ran on a variety of operating systems, including a Pascal version and one based on CP/M, before releasing its ProDOS with the advent of its 16-bit computer. With the release of the Lisa, which had its own OS, Apple and computing entered the graphical age; it was followed by the Macintosh, which offered a series of "System" operating systems. Other Mac operating systems included PowerPC until Apple acquired NeXT and folded it into the Mac OS. Current operating systems for Apple devices are Mac OS-X and iOS.
