Wow, thanks.  All three -- BSD on Sparc, debian on Mac, and Fink on OSX!
This means it is great for promoting open source hardware and embedded software design
tools to engineers that mostly use Windows because the Corp. installs it on the computers
they give them.

What does the limitation about making valid binary packages mean?  You can compile
packages to run in your rootless, but not ready to distribute?

BSD on Sparc needs these, right?
  * GNU Bash
     * GNU CoreUtils
     * GNU Sed
     * GNU Wget

Thanks,
