 for Linux users on OSX, the appearance of MacPorts were amazing - the
 issue is i'm having problems on doing 'sudo port install' - as i could
 understand is MacPorts uses only source files on their repositories, while
 the problem i'm having is with gcc - this problem would be easily solved
 if binary packages would be available, a bit like Ubuntu/Debian
 repositories - no many Linux users thinks Gentoo is easy to use, and this
 issue about only having source packages available makes MacPort looks more
 like Gentoo than Ubuntu... :(
