Do you use X11?
« on: 8 April 2003, 10:41 »
...and what for?

Also, what's your preferred source for X11 apps? Fink? Darwinports? Forked.net? Somewhere else? Do tell...

i guess since this thread isnt rally going any where you could dump it. or you could make it interesting and edit everyones posts to say something cool. i would do that.

Why dead thread it? That was a totally legitimate question.   :confused:   Anyway, I'm not currently using X11, since the fact that I'm still on dialup (  :mad:  ) doesn't allow me to download it yet. I'm using fink though, with which I've downloaded lynx, html-tidy and more shell apps.

I have X11 with WindowMaker, GAIM, and GIMP. Although I only use it to play with.  iChat and Photoshop, I think, are easier.

You won't regret it ecsyle! Fink is exactly like Synaptic in Linux. It uses apt-get and it rules! Great app!

Have you downloaded fink commander yet? Fink Commander is a graphical frontend to Fink, so that you won't have to use the console. You can get it from Apple's page here!

Other than that, there is nothing really. Just install the fink commander package and download anything you want! It's dead easy.

PS. One small tip. You can either download binaries or the source code, which fink will compile for you. I always download the source and let fink do all the dirty work.    ;)   I'm lazy I know.    :D
