I agree that Fink is definitely the place to start looking for unix 
applications.  Many times a compile can involve many different compiler 
switches for different compile options, such as for example, apache with 
or without PHP support.  The precompiled packages are usually compiled 
with the most common switches so they work for just about everybody.

I addition, they are easy to install with apt or dpkg.
