[QUOTE="twitchymike@mac, post: 1258738, member: 15927"] Why do you want Ubuntu? It'd be like driving your car using your push bike attached by a piece of string. You have BSD-based UNIX. Do you have wifi on the mini, to share another CD/DVD drive? What about target disk with Firewire to give it a jump-start - just hardware sharing. If you have a LAN hub, even if it's slow (10Mb/sec), all you need to do is look at your other machine, and enable file sharing in SysPrefs --> Sharing... including CD/DVD, select a directory, such as Volumes/HD/Users/Public No need for server software Linux is worse than Windoze [/QUOTE]
