A few days ago we featured an interview with one of Fink's project leaders regarding their package management solution which breeds more Unix software to MacOSX. Today, we host an interview with Jordan Hubbard regarding the DarwinPorts, speaking for the DarwinPorts Team which a similar effort to bring more Unix software on Mac OS X. Jordan is currently working at Apple and OpenDarwin (while many will know Jordan as the FreeBSD co-founder).

You can also get BSD ports in an easy to install package on cd-rom from BSD Mall. It is called UNIX Utilities for OS X. I bought it at my local Mac store and will install it when my eMac arrives from MacMall in a couple of days. If anyone is interested I can give a review. I am a graphic designer so I would review applications relevant to me. I have used Open Source ports on Windows and Linux, so I could compare performance and ease of installation, etc.
