I'm considering attempting to set up an Intel Mac Mini as a
MythTV frontend. Right now I'm thinking I'll leave the
internal drive alone and boot from net or from a USB flash
drive. That way I can spin down the internal HD and save on
power and noise (and the standard OS-X install is still there,
so it can be trivially switched back to normal desktop use).
I've been googling for info on running Linux on a Mac Mini, and
there was fairly active discussion 3-4 years ago, but very
little recent info. That leads me to either of two
conclusions:
1) It can't be done and everybody gave up.
2) It's so trivial that people no longer need to ask about it.
So, how hard would it be to do a USB or network-based Gentoo
install for a recent Intel Mac Mini?
