Tim, thanks for keeping the non-macPorts version around!
As long as I'm on Tiger, I'll keep using that when I need to.

If (and unless there are some big changes, it's a BIG if ) I adopt  
Leopard, I'll probably move towards MacPorts for things, and at this  
time I recommend people use MacPorts with Leopard! (for now, for  
early adopters and until the Leopard dust has settled and more  
resources are available, like Dan Benjamin's new tutorial  
(hivelogic), unless you're adventurous as sin)

Myself, Leopard is a big disappointment and frustration in many ways,  
so much so, that I might consider moving to Linux full time...
