The question is now, what do I do with my oldest Mac Mini?

Model Name: Mac mini
Model Identifier: Macmini1,1
Processor Name: Intel Core Duo
Processor Speed: 1,66 GHz
Number Of Processors: 1
Total Number Of Cores: 2
L2 Cache: 2 MB
Memory: 2 GB
Bus Speed: 667 MHz
Boot ROM Version: MM11.0055.B08
SMC Version (system): 1.3f4
Serial Number (system): YM7XXXXXXXX
Hardware UUID: 00000000-0000-1000-8000-XXXXXXXXXXXX

Still a useful little beast.

Seems like there is no OS X upgrade path :sad:

I know Tim Cook would like me to throw it away and buy another Mac but having just had to by Tom a new MacBook for Uni and having just forked out a huge sum to have the control computer in my Tigra replaced funds are a bit low.

Any Linux distros (Mint springs to mind) that are know to behave well with old Mac hardware?
