After trying Fink for a short while and DarwinPorts for a bit longer, after finally downloading and compiling all my stuff manually, I decided to give Homebrew a try. I run an old Mac Mini with Mac OS 10.6.8 on it. I did the radical thing and deleted all the stuff I installed myself:
sudo mv /usr/local /Users/alex/Desktop
I’m hoping to list all the stuff I will subsequently install on this page. Wish me luck! 😄

Use `brew rmtree` to delete unused dependencies.
$ brew tap beeftornado/rmtree && brew install beeftornado/rmtree/brew-rmtree
Don’t forget to `brew cleanup` every now and then!
