HomeBrew vs. MacPorts (vs. Fink)

July 1 2012

High level overview of the differences between these systems. As I am re-installing my Mac, I thought I'd first do a little research before defaulting to MacPorts (which feels somewhat natural considering I have some BSD in my past). I think I will go for HomeBrew this time around, just for the heck of it.
