[SDBUG] Mac Mini?

[J. Cordaro]

I have one of the PPC mac minis.  I don't know if the
Intel Core Duos changed but on the ppc machines the
boot partition has to be hfs+ or it won't boot.  At
the time NetBSD did not do this and it was a pain to
get it to boot.  I was able to get Fedora running on
the thing quite easily. 
http://www.redhat.com/magazine/007may05/features/mac-mini/#fedora-disk-setup-partition
has more info on the powerpc install process for
fedora.

If I were going to buy a laptop, for the money apple
charges you could get a 3lb laptop that runs a BSD
just as good as the core duo mac pros do.

regards,
Jay Cordaro
