The best news about version 0.5.0a is that it includes full Jaguar support. I've been holding off on re-installing Fink due to some of the issues regarding Jaguar (as much as I like the leading edge, I need to stay on this side of the cliff!). Now that 0.5.0a is available, though, Fink is (as we speak!) being installed on my production machine again. If you're looking for an easy and clean (all software is installed in one parent directory) way to install and test a huge number of UNIX applications, Fink can't be beat...
Thanks to the members of the Fink project team for all their hard work in helping to make a wide range of UNIX software available to all OS X users. I'd have about a 0.01% chance of getting something like the GIMP running on my own; with Fink, a full installation is a matter of a couple of keyboard presses and some time!
