The nearest Apple store is 240-km away. I cannot justify a round trip

after a Mac for many years (sucker for their slick marketing, I guess)
but using one in my own home for several months made me realize that
OS X is all about form over function. I'm convinced the Mini would
have felt snappier if it wasn't so hamstrung by the bloated graphics
of OS X.


Put on the terminal application (I think) and use the BSD prompt for
everything. You can then Unix to your heart's content.
