[QUOTE="mmoy, post: 97659, member: 9872"] I just had a chat with my coworker that bought a Mini recently. He tried to install YellowDog Linux on it and it had a problem with some device and he was talking to the folks at YellowDog to try to get it fixed.He also tried installing Mandrake on the Mini as well. It appears that Linux vendors are jumping on the Apple PowerPC bandwagon to ride Linus' coattails. He didn't like the el cheapo monitor that he had so he upgraded to a 20 inch cinema. I told him that he's probably the only one out there with a Mini and a 20-inch cinema display. Then he told me that he bought a Dual G5 2.5 Ghz with 2.5 GB of memory, gigabit ethernet, 160 GB + an additional 250 GB BlueTooth and a bunch of other stuff. He's been playing around with various operating systems. I think he's going back to OSX on the Mini and he likes OSX and the Mac GUI quite a bit. He's had friends telling him about Macs for a long time and now he's jumped in with both feet. [/QUOTE]
