Over at Flutterby!, Dan Lyke was baiting comment by suggesting that you could do better than a Mac Mini for a small server. I’ll try to bait some comments out by asserting the same thing: small servers like this one are pretty cost effective, and if what you really want is a server, FreeBSD or any of a number of Linux variants will foot the bill nicely.

If, on the other hand, you want to run iLife, by all means, get the Mac Mini.
