I rebuilt my Mini today. I wanted a fresh install so I can try using some linux/unix server programs on it. I am using my Powerbook as my main computer now, so I don’t really “need” the mini as a desktop anymore. But I like it and want to use it.
I am planning on trying to use it as a web server, and maybe a MySQL server, and more. We shall see if I get around to doing that in my spare time.
Jayson also got a mini. Turns out Bob needed a high end desktop for someone quick and Jay volunteered his for use. We tend to trick out our computers in our department so they may not be bought as high end box’s but they end up as them. Bob said to order a replacement box for Jayson so jay suggested the mini. He got a computer he wanted and we saved the company $400 compared to buying a new dev desktop box. Made sense to me! I hope he likes it. I am such a convert now:) It is really scary.
