I didn't say it wasn't good, I just said it was an odd choice. It's not
very often you hear "Mac Mini Server" thrown together. Keep us posted on
how it all works out. :)

The Mac Mini is fast, small, quiet, and cheap. Why is it not a good
cheap server?

A mac mini is an odd machine to make into a server, but no matter. I
doubt you'll run into any issues with installing it. Darwin is nice,
but it was developed to be the underlying layer of the finder GUI.
And the freeBSD ports system is so much nicer than any other nix
install system that there's no comparison.

Because I want to run FreeBSD, not Darwin. This is for a server,
not for a desktop. I'm used to FreeBSD, and I am migrating an
existing machine over.

Why? Mac OS X has a complete unix freebsd-like core called darwin
( http://www.darwin.org ). There's no reason to install freebsd
on it. Just install Mac Developer Tools (included in the
Applications folder), compile your favorite progs and go.

Does anyone know if the Intel Macs can boot and install FreeBSD,
now that the firmware includes BIOS compatibility? Has anyone
seen it happen?
I'm thinking of using a Mac Mini as a quiet living-room server.
Thanks!
