Mac Mini will be my first Apple I think
 

Anyone have it yet?

Is it *really* silent, and is 256 RAM enough for a few IE windows, a text editor and maybe a photo editor open at the same time?

Nice little machine, but you are going to want some more RAM.. 512mb would help a bit and 1024mb would be great..

The ones I have used have been silent, except for the harddisk which is almost silent..

very nice apple

Yeah, looks great, especially when you can run Linux on it! :)

I had trouble getting the sound working when I tried installing debian on one.. And the Apple Wireless doesn't work with linux, but I didn't expect it too..

Have you tried dual boot too? http://www.sowerbutts.com/linux-mac-mini/

too small for me

If you're going to use it as a desktop, you'll need to pump up the ram to a gig.
I have one and it sits in the cupboard at the end of the corridor - it is now the heart of the family LAN. Airpot express is plugged in in the lounge and the kids bedrooms and it plays everyones music to each stereo in the various rooms wirelessly.

The kids love it being able to play music from their puter to their stereos - they loved it more when they could pump out tunes from their own puter to the other one's bedroom, but a simply config hack put a stop to that (the final straw was them pumping out some shite on teh lounge stereo while I was watching the footy!)

you watch your feet or someone elses? i have a foot fetish site if you're interested...

wow what will be the price?

Uhm.. running linux on a mac? You all realize that Mac OSX is based on BSD right? Why friggin put linux on a mac if it comes with a better operating system base than that anyway? You can compile all unix apps on it anyway, so why bother?

$499 at Amazon

Nope.. Clean debian install..
I have seen that article and I used some of his info when I tried it.. I have also seen some other article about a guy who got the sound working under ubuntu, but I haven't tried that either..

My feet look just fine in my old-man slippers :winkwink:

I'm with you Nathan, and with XFree, any GUI that isn't ported to mac will run just fine under XFree :thumbsup

edit: oops, forgot, BSD isn't Linux, so maybe the reason lies there :uhoh

just upgrade the RAm, the conf will be fine

Apple Mac Mini is great! My friend has it, and it really rocks :thumbsup
Im recommending it!!

You can sinc it with your PC to do all the editing on it right??

i cant wait to get mine

I just ordered the iMac G5 20' a few hours ago
The one that says where's the computer gone
as all the cpu even the dvd rom is mounted into the monitor
and the monitor is flat :thumbsup

Leave it to Apple to always come out with cool shit.

That's one cool tool. :thumbsup

Wow, that's cool. I'm planning to get an i-Pod as well. Should I get the smaller one?

I used to have:
Apple IIC
Apple IIE
Macintosh
Mac Plus
Mac II

Those were the last Apples I owned. :)

I have two of these. Best and coolest computer I've ever owned. :thumbsup

get an ipod mini or full size one.

It's cool, I talked my mom into buying one and she's happy.

i had the 2e with the dual 5 1/4 drive and monochrome monitor when i was a kid. i loved that computer!
