Hi all,
I'm interested in buying an Intel Mac Mini.
Qestions:
* Will Gentoo run on it?
Sooner or later I am sure it will :)
* If so: Which installer is the right one (sorry I'm not that familiar
with processor hardware)?
there are no ready-made yet I dont think
* Can it dual boot with the installed Mac OS?
yes.
Thanks & best regards

These guys have been working on running linux on new Macs:

They started off by running gentoo, as this pic shows:

They got a HOWTO going:

They have a livecd but it is a Ubuntu one:

So they have kernel patches, they can boot and they got a dual-boot
guide. Thats enough to install gentoo on your x86 mac I think. With a
bit of hacking. I am sure sooner or later there will be a ready-made
installer CD for it too.
