How to Install Debian on Mac mini
wikinerd writes "After the hype about Mac mini, a Linux consultant wrote a detailed guide on how to install Debian on Mac mini. The whole procedure takes about an hour, but you will need to erase the hard disk and learn to live without the AirPort Extreme, since it's unsupported. The guide also explains how you can dual-boot with Mac OS X and Debian and gives you ideas on how to set up your partitions."
whore.
That's right. No need for confusion. You will know when you are running Linux when your machine boots and you are offered a choice of 20 different incompatible GUIs,
Also you will know when you are running Linux when your machine is rebooting itself all the time and is running 20 times slower thanks to KDE/GNOME.
*lol* you really believe the 'customizability' crap on linux eh ?
Except your parents couldn't use Ubuntu. thanks to the sickening gay/les/mixed raced script-kiddie porn desktop images it comes bundled with.
It has anything but a clean desktop.
Who cares about open source operating systems if everything existing on it is a half implementation. 90% of the open source stuff is crap.
why dont they name this article 'how to turn a decently performing computer into an unsupported, open source infested piece of stylish feces'?
Why dont you use apples X server, use fink to apt-get kde, use quartzwm instead of kde, then you end up with a system that can run both linux and mac apps proplerly, kde with real-time transparency, etc.....
my karma ran over your dogma
We have already managed to get rid of the ugly case and now we can also get rid of the ugly OS. Those Macs start to look as an interesting option. But seriously, I love Macs because they represent cheerfulness and lighthearted excitement, they are merry, bright and lively, they have vivid and joyful style. Isn't changing the case to PC ATX and installing Debian on a Mac essentially removing all of its gayness? What's the point?

Because you haven't found a binary Mozilla package to install on it, and it takes longer than 180 days to build Mozilla from source on a Sparc?

Okayyy. So the new Mac boots Debian, but Apple is deliberately killing off OS 9 bootablity. Makes perfect sense. Why would we want a Mac that would run the thousands of dollars worth of Mac (pre-Carbon) software we've bought over the past 10 years that has no OS X counterpart? Oh yeah, to run at half the speed of OS 9 with OS X's reduced Finder and postscript printer driver functionality. Brilliant.
i want to sperm all over your fat fucking face
If you havn't figured this out yet you need to download another one.
Don't wory though, it's stil better than windows, 100% of all windows software is crap because the operating system, as Dan Bernstein so aptly put it "Just doesn't work".
