[MLB-WIRELESS] Mini PCs (slightly OT)

[clae at tpg.com.au]

Quoting Mike MacCana <mikem at cyber.com.au>:

> The Mac Mini is smaller than most SFF motherboards (16.5 CM case versus 
> 17CM motherboard). It's also very well made and can run Fedora or 
> Ubuntu, which there's copious POS drivers available.

Or YellowDog (a Redhat port) or Debian or BSD or Gentoo or half a dozen other
*nixen.  Not to mention faster than most of the SFFs and has dedicated VRAM
rather than shared.  And silent, 2" high.  Can drive DVI, VGA or video monitors.

Disadvantages:  uses laptop HDs so slightly more expensive to expand internal
storage.  Internal wireless and Bluetooth must be added at a service centre or
at time of purchase, although external USB options for both exist.  RAM and HD
can be user upgraded.
