Fink Notes

These notes are pretty much moot now. I've completely ditched fink at this point. The amount of time I was spending to get things to work the way I wanted actually outweighed just compiling everything by hand. As a bonus, my X11 apps are runnning MUCH faster -- orders of magnitude faster. It's insane. For example, where I had to wait 5 - 10 seconds for wireshark to startup, it now starts in about 1 second.
