A few months ago I did buy a mac mini. My excuse to my girl-friend was that it would make less noise than my hyper big server. The mac mini looks really nice and OS-X is cute, too. I got to admit, I do love the GUI and the poor fact that most things like WLAN, etc. seem to work out of the box. But the definite downside is that coming from Debian/Gentoo/Suse I got some expectations towards the development tools. Now I waste hours installing fink, etc. .. fighting with different philosophies, but I still enjoy the new journey.
