I've tested the latest version of Yellowdog, and it runs great on Macs.

KDE and Gnome run nice on Macs.
I believe Fluxbox and XFCE also run fine.

Great links Andrej :D
This little MiniMac might just be the ticket to set up a PVR system with one of those softwares, instead of a PC running MythTV, etc :!:
The power savings will be just great, and the space saving too :cool:

BTW, here's something I found very interesting:
