| 15:50.58 | bgat | anyone here using a Mini as a developer machine? are any of the available configurations capable of building kernels, etc. in a "reasonable" amount of time? |
| 16:20.19 | bgat | anyone here at all? :) |
| 16:23.13 | simonrvn | yes. not understanding the question. "available configurations"? |
| 16:32.53 | bgat | simonrvn: aah. I know the Mac Minis come in several flavors. I'm just wondering if any of the PPC-based ones are capable of doing things like kernel builds, etc. quickly enough to be useful as modest developer machines |
| 16:33.11 | simonrvn | yes |
| 16:34.09 | bgat | I have a G4 PowerMac; would its performance be comparable to a G4-based Mini in any way that I could use it as a comparison? |
| 16:36.05 | simonrvn | should be about the same, depending on ram, speed, i/o |
| 16:36.18 | bgat | ok |
| 16:37.09 | bgat | methinks I'll go debianize my G4 PowerMac, and see how that goes :) |
| 16:37.19 | simonrvn | some folks use them as servers |
| 16:37.30 | simonrvn | oh, it'll be damned speedy |
| 16:37.42 | simonrvn | compared to os x ;) |
| 16:37.48 | bgat | :) |
| 16:37.50 | simonrvn | no flash though |
| 16:38.08 | simonrvn | (if you're into that) |
| 16:38.10 | bgat | np, I just need it to be a CLI ssh host for two or three people to do kernel builds, etc. on |
| 16:38.53 | simonrvn | ah np. but i was talking about your pmac. |
| 16:39.25 | bgat | me too (?) |
| 16:40.21 | simonrvn | ok |
| 16:41.13 | bgat | I'm going to start with the PowerMac, and then if that goes well I'll acquire a Mini to replace it with |
| 16:41.32 | simonrvn | i see |
| 16:57.29 | bgat | bbl |
