I have a Mac Mini, the 2009 one, and am running Debian almost
exclusively without problem. The Mini's a good little computer: I
wouldn't buy it again, but it really isn't bad.

Sounds right. I find the booting part can be a little fragile at times,
but, by and large, it's stable enough. One thing you should probably
know is that support for the internal audio is a little dodgy if you
want to do more than just playback to the headphones jack: I never got
capture to work.
