So one of my current projects is to do a side-by-side (-by-side) comparison of Windows, Linux and Solaris running an Oracle DB. I have a few mac minis lying around (ok I’ve scooped them up every chance I get) so I’ve been trying to get each OS installed on one of my 3 identical units.
Thus far, the Solaris CD I’ve been using makes it into grub OK and starts the installer, but then loses connection … with the keyboard? Once I get started I can’t type and so can’t finish the install… very weird.
Anyway, I have high hopes of getting it going and doing some testing. In the long run I hope to install Ubuntu onto every mini I find and setup a big mini cluster (haha – get it?).
