I have a cute little Mac Mini around here. I will install an SSD, max out the RAM, and install Scientific Linux and Joomla, then spend a week or so picking at it to theme and shape the site to something I suspect will appeal to most users. I'm guessing the mini server will draw a far smaller amount of power, and therefore minimise long-term costs. For the interested: It'll have 4GB RAM, a T7200 Core 2 Duo @ 2GHz, and a 120GB Samsung 440 Pro SSD. I'll remove the Combo drive to reduce power draw just a little more. It's already been modified to run headless,and gone from 1,1 to 2,1 EFI. It will be virtually silent, and perfectly adequate for our foreseeable needs. I also offer to create a bi-monthly or quarterly "digest" in PDF magazine form, and can create a mailing list for those who would just like the digest PDF. I'll post again when it's up and will happily take any and all feedback. *Additionally, I'd like to say that although I am not a subscriber, I am very sad to see QL Today go.
