Never mind that the Mac Mini offers a secure and more elegant solution than neither Linux or Windows will *ever* offer. No matter that it consumes 1/10 the power of a typical PC. I know, I know... you want the most CPU bang from you buck and only a 500 Gigahertz Ultra Pentium IV will do. Otherwise Firefox will take 20 seconds to launch. And anyway you don't care about "userspace" or GUIs anyway and just toggle between virtual consoles.
