I found this via someone\’s blog (who I have been reading for several years – ssssh I am really not a stalker!). Note to self when I finally install OS 10.4 (Tiger).

  1. In the OS X 10.4 Finder, type Command-K or select Go | Connect to Server …
  2. Enter this server address: http://packages.opendarwin.org/Tiger-Packages
  3. Click Connect. (note: this will not work with Safari. you have to do it in the Finder)
  4. Go take a walk. The Finder is going to mount a webdav (http) network drive that has 500 packages in it. This will take a while even over broadband connection. Be patient and let the Finder finish.

Supposedly has a number of my favorite unix applications. I mean, who can forget my favorite unix editor emacs. With Eliza? Hopefully a better version of pico?

  1. Cool, seems like something along the lines of yum and apt repositories for .rpm and .deb packages for linux.
