Hello Everyone, I got a Mac today that I plan to configure for dual boot, and I want to retire my current Linux Box.
My goal for the existing linux box is to turn it into a Network Attached Storage Device for my LAN. The ideal distro for the retired box would be one specialized for usage as a NAS, have a small diskspace footprint, and preferably be able to run (if not install), headless. The retired box has 1GB of RAM, so a live CD would be a real possibility for it, so we could maximize disk utilization. Now the other recommendation I'm looking for, is a good distro for this shiny new Mac In a Box. The Mac Mini, has a dual core Intel CPU and a Gig of RAM. But I'm not sure what Linux Distro's will play nice with Macs. Ideally I'ld like a version that virtualizes well, so I can run it concurrent with OSX. But I'm not opposed to a triple boot configuration (I program for a living, and this is technically a "work computer", so I need to compile and test on all 3 platforms) if thats the only way to go here. Thanks in advance! Regards, p.s. Is there an OSX user group in the state I could look into for asking Mac specific stuff? /* PLUG: http://plug.org, #utah on irc.freenode.net Unsubscribe: http://plug.org/mailman/options/plug Don't fear the penguin. */
