IIRC this is also known as "macmini3,1". I don't have this specific machine, but I have an older one (macmini1,1, upgraded to macmini2,1). > https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mac_Mini#Technical_specifications_2 > indicates Intel Core 2 Duo. A late Merom or early Penryn. > https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intel_Core mentions 32 bit and 64 bit > architectures. Is this machine 32 bits? 64? My macmini had a 32bit-only CPU (Core Duo) but I upgraded its CPU to a Core 2 Duo (as well as upgraded its firmware to allow the use of the "full" 3GB of RAM that the hardware can control). The macmini2,1 has a 32bit EFI but you can boot a 64bit version of GNU/Linux, AFAIK (tho I used Debian i386 on it). According to https://theapplewiki.com/wiki/List_of_Mac_minis, a macmini3,1 can run macOS > 10.8 so its EFI should be 64 bit and Apple used it in "64bit only". It should work fine with both Debian i386 and Debian amd64. Stefan
