A mac mini is an odd machine to make into a server, but no matter. I
doubt you'll run into any issues with installing it. Darwin is nice, but
it was developed to be the underlying layer of the finder GUI. And the
freeBSD ports system is so much nicer than any other nix install system
that there's no comparison.

Because I want to run FreeBSD, not Darwin. This is for a server, not
for a desktop. I'm used to FreeBSD, and I am migrating an existing
machine over.

Why? Mac OS X has a complete unix freebsd-like core called darwin (

it. Just install Mac Developer Tools (included in the Applications
folder), compile your favorite progs and go.

Does anyone know if the Intel Macs can boot and install FreeBSD,
now that the firmware includes BIOS compatibility? Has anyone seen
it happen?
I'm thinking of using a Mac Mini as a quiet living-room server.
Thanks!
