Hi

Can anyone recommend any hardware that would be the equivalent to a Mac Mini 
that is guaranteed to run Ubuntu 10.04 LTS as a headless server?

Background: 

We are a Mac shop but are now using Ubuntu 10.04 on our production servers. We 
would like to set up an Ubuntu 10.04 server in our office for development.

We have a brand new Apple Mac Mini which would have been perfect but having 
looked into it there's a bug/driver problem with the latest Macs with SATA 
drives. While this is on the list to be fixed nobody knows how long this will 
be so I think our best bet is to get a small PC for the purpose.

I know nothing about PCs, what's available, what's dodgy, what will work 
without problems with Ubuntu etc so I'm hoping someone here can point me in the 
right direction. As mentioned - ideally we'd like the PC equivalent of a Mac 
Mini. Small footprint, low power consumption, couple of GB of RAM, fairly 
decent CPU, ethernet most important though is a fuss free Ubuntu install.

As it will be run as a headless server great graphics capability isn't an issue

Any suggestions

Paul
