Damn it all, and cool at the same time.  I finally got my hands on a G4 MacMini and am just finishing installing MorphOS 2.4.  I am so excited I could piss myself right now -- after all this time of wanting to go PPC for AmigaOS 4 (which I may still do, budget permitting,) I get my hands on a MacMini for FREE!

If MorphOS turns out to be everything everyone says it is, and I have little reason to believe otherwise, I will be buying a key.

SO DAMN EXCITED!!  I may even take this thing on vacation with me!

I hate all of the uni-body Macs, so I doubt I'd get one even if I had room on my desk for it. (I'm more likely to get a Power G4 since it can hide under my desk).


I am quite impressed with the MacMini.

You don't have to compile a program to use linux (unless you want to). Most linux distributions come with a large selection of packages which can be installed with a few clicks. you dont generally need to worry about manually copying library files to certain locations, and in the case of compiling stuff from source, most programs will have a "make install" command.


./configure && make && make install

Unless you are like me and running Solaris, in which case a lot of programs are a little more intricate than this.  Thank $_DEITY for SunFreeware!

Does/will MorphOS support the wireless on the wireless MacMinis?  I do not know if mine has wireless or not, it may be Bluetooth, but it has some kind of antennas inside.
