 |  It's not that I want to switch completely to linux, I'll still (and probablly mostly) use windows. I just want to learn linux and that's more lilely going to happen when I use more often than just booting it starting F@H. |

| I can agree with jmke, windows can be very easy indeed, but there are in my humble opinion too many things wrong with it. both technically and ethically. Quote:

There was recently a newspost on tweakers that said the profit on the MacMini was huge. Could be, but in the comments sections people started making calculations.. For a bit less of the MAC price you have an normal office computer. You won't tell me you have an gaming computer for ~450 euro. case: 35 euro CPU sempron: 60 euro mainboard: 40 euro 512 Mem: 60 euro DVD: 25 euro HDD 80 gig: 55 euro VGA (9200): 40 euro totals: 315 euro. That is less than the mac, but it's a huge case, and it isn't a gmining system at all.... The mac Mini is a very good model for trying out the Mac feeling. Not that much money for what you get...

But I know that Suse has/had a very payable box, with a manual, and support, the price was ~60 euro... For gaming, both Linux and MacOS suck. I have to agree with that, but I don't game, Needed a very stable OS where I still could toy around, en hopsa MacOS

read Anandtech's thoughts on the Mac Mini, they are the same as mine. the mini is fun to try out the MacOS; but it's too slow to be used as primairy PC, and too expensive of a gadget just for "fun"

| 8 out of 10 ppl i know don't use their PC for gaming, and don't need (nor want) a loud, big 3.5Ghz monster. The mac mini with 512mb has more than enough power for the average joe... including me.
