Well, if you do mention fink, please mention also that:
o the fink people force you to adopt a non-standard path (/sw) with
no chance of changing it to something sensible (e.g. /opt/local,
/usr/local or whatever)
o they make it very hard to find the patches used to compile
open source packages for fink, thus making it impossible to
reuse the hard work the many good contributors to fink did
