Re: [PhillyOnRails] Compiling v. Darwin Ports


Heh, running and installing gentoo was my introduction to linux. I
thought that was fairly easy because it was just a few commands, and
the dependencies were taken care of, just took forever (whole weekend
shot installing it). I liked the Hivelogic "tutorial" on installing
the environment. I never used darwin ports, except maybe to install
X11, until I saw the robby on rails thing with installing posgres that
way.

Thanks!

Go with DP or Fink. Its a pain to maintain source. Ask anyone who's ever
run Gentoo ;-)
