Arg. Arg. Arg. Must resist, this isn’t the time. Or is it? I was talking about setting a mini with two Firewire drives (one for data, one for daily backup) as a fileserver and iTunes server on my home network; when and where am I going to find such an offer again? I spent almost as much on my old G3 clamshell, that I only used for a couple months.
Now, I know there’s the upcoming mini revision, but it won’t be quite spectacular; more importantly, the offer involves the very first model, with only 256MB RAM. So the question is: can it be enough to only run iTunes and filesharing? I’d think it is.
(Well, there’s the other question: is it quite reasonable to buy a mini now, when I’m looking for a flat in Paris? But I might very well not find one, and anyway I don’t think I’ll move unless I get the 5000€ contract I should have soon. Oh, and every space saver counts when you move into a Paris flat.)
P.S. And there’s got to be someone who can lend me for a week, or even sell me for 10€, a wired keyboard and mouse?

We don't need newsletters, and we don't need Twitter; RSS still exists.

Franchement MacOSX avec 256Mo meme sur un G5 ca rame. Mais bon si tu y touches pas tous les jours, que c'est juste pour iTunes et le partage de fichiers c'est nickel.
Quand je dis ca rame c'est l'interface mais les services, en l'occurence iTunes et Partage de fichiers, sont pareil avec 256Mo ou 512Mo.
Laisse 256Mo et apprend le ssh, si tu ne connais pas deja ;-)
