Re: Intel Mac?

[John Swensen]

Jonathon,
 I think there is a basic Fink up and running for the Intel Macs.  Have 
you tried that?  I know fink provides everything I need for my PowerPC 
Mac, but since FinkIntel is still preliminary, you might have a heck of 
a time getting ALL the dependencies to compile.  Good luck.  I would be 
interested to see MacIntel benchmarks.  Plus, I am contemplating getting 
a MacbookPro for when I go back to school this fall and was wondering 
how it would compare to a powerful Dell for scientific computing.
