The $subj says it all:
- in the past Apple was known as the only vendor whose OS was faster for the same underlying hardware, compared to the previous version(s). Is this the case of Tiger vs. Panther?
- is fink supported?
Background/reasons for my Qs: ex-user of Linux and BSD laptops, with main target network and security utilities, almost exclusively compiled "by hand". Migrated to iBook (G4 1GHz 512MB) two years ago, when I could not find an x86 laptop that I liked. Have spent few months to port everything to iBook, and now I am relatively happy with it. I am not that crazy about the "face" of MacOSX, as much as I like the stability and underlying OS - so my reason for upgrading to Tiger would be increased of the latter, and capability of fink support.
Any ideas/comments?
TIA,
Stef
