I'll just have a word with the VMware guys about fully >abastracting the mini in software... back in a jiffy.... ;-) There's no reason one couldn't run all the normal LAMPS stuff on the Mac Mini with OS X. I have apache, postgresql, mysql, php, python, perl, etc. running on my PPC Mac Mini, all built from source. I haven't tried FreeBSD on the Macs. The most adventurous I've been so far is to put Yellowdog Linux on an old 450MhZ G4 tower, mostly to see how it worked -- pretty much the same as our other RPM-based systems running CentOS and SuSE.
