Also big plus for me is making *really* sure that it will not tamper with
other files than the one it installs itself.
I found this great guide [1] to install DarwinPorts under a special ports
user, which only has rights to the directory where it is supposed to
install stuff and nowhere else.

I was always doubting about Fink or DP and chose Fink for it's point and
click interface, that turned out to be horrible, but worked most of the
time. Now that I'm on Tiger, I'll switch to DP if I have time..
