Hi again list, sorry so noisy lately -
I've got a Mac Mini. It's really nice, was bought late last year, 8
GB RAM, fast processor, etc. I love OS X, but I really, really,
really miss Linux. I've been enjoying Tango Studio (an Ubuntu
derivative), and would like to install it on my Mac Mini.
Is this stupid?
I have a Mac Mini, the 2009 one, and am running Debian almost
exclusively without problem. The Mini's a good little computer: I
wouldn't buy it again, but it really isn't bad.
From what I've been reading, getting this to
work is a mix of BootCamp
and rEFIt (
http://refit.sourceforge.net/). Has anyone
done this, and
if so, what was the experience like?
Sounds right. I find the booting part can be a
little fragile at times,
but, by and large, it's stable enough. One thing you should probably
know is that support for the internal audio is a little dodgy if you
want to do more than just playback to the headphones jack: I never got
capture to work.
Cheers,
s.M.
