Please excuse me, but what exactly is MacPorts? How does it work? Is it really what I want to use? I found Mac Ports through looking at another program called Jailkit, and there was another website (the predecessor to MacPorts?) called DarwinPorts. Unfortunately, the main page of MacPorts does not have a simplified "This is what this is, this is what it does" type of introduction, and I find that to be enormously helpful in putting myself in the right mindset for what I am dealing with.

Hi Diane, We apologize that our web presence isn't better. If you, or anybody else, is interested in improving that, please see my result mail (today) to that effect. James
