[X-Newbies] X11 on MacBook.

[Brian Durant]

Hi Phillip,

I don't really know anything about Darwin Ports. As far as I
understand, this is a question of whether to use .rpm or .deb based
packaging for the BSD base that OS X is built on? Tell me more. This
would be of benefit for the list at large.

Cheers,

Brian
