I'm new to the list, and to the software, and know little about these programs. But I thought I would try out installing XFree86 (I had good luck with ImageMagick).

I got into this trying to deal with .svg images, and eventually stumbled on both Fink and MacPorts. How do they interact with each other? Can both be installed and used?
