Running a HP SPP mini tower with Yosemite installed and finally getting tired of finder and iTerm. Don’t get me wrong, I like iTerm, but from my linux background, my fingers just know terminator so much better 🙂

I tried installing terminator via brew but it did not seem very stable – I opened up a 4-up terminator view and after the icon spun for 5 minutes, it crashed.

Fink seems to be much more stable and integrates its programs right into XQuartz where the brew installed version popup’d a separate python window.

1. install fink:  bash script to do it all for ya https://raw.githubusercontent.com/fink/scripts/master/srcinstaller/Install%20Fink.tool

2. fink install terminator

3. fink install nautilus

4. Setup dbus for OSX :

sudo launchctl load -w /sw/share/dbus/launchd/org.finkproject.dbus-session.plist

launchctl load -w /sw/share/dbus/launchd/org.finkproject.dbus-session.plist
