X-BeenThere: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.5 Precedence: list List-Id: User questions List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Sat, 22 Nov 2008 05:12:14 -0000 Is anyone running FreeBSD on a Mac Mini Intel? I've looked around for a definitive discussion on the topic but couldn't find anything on this list or Google at least. I'd like to replace a couple of relatively high power-consuming servers with a couple of Mac Mini Intel's. For my purposes they are plenty good enough. I'd prefer to stay with the 6.X release for now. I've got a lot of Mac's around running OS X but in this case these boxes would be headless and without keyboards. An alternate serial console would be nice if that can be rigged up via USB and a serial converter. IJ
