Hey, Putting linux on the mini shouldn't be a problem, on the mac pro I can't guarantee to have it running 24h linux, all I could do was create a chronjob so that it runs 12 my builds and 12 hour Etoile builds. But the mini should be ready to go if you need it, unless you go with the P4 :). Greets Jan
