A mac mini is an odd machine to make into a server, but no matter. I
doubt you'll run into any issues with installing it. Darwin is nice, but
it was developed to be the underlying layer of the finder GUI. And the
freeBSD ports system is so much nicer than any other nix install system
that

I would only be concerned about the disk depending on what sort of
