Linux guy checks out Mac mini

Don't call Todd Ogasawara a switcher, he's a 'Curious Try-er,' which doesn't have the same ring to it, but hey it was his idea. He is a current Windows/Linux guy who has taken a chance and dipped his toe into the world of the Mac via the petite Mac mini.

Overall Todd has a good experience (good enough to make him go out and purchase an iBook after he wrote the column) but the transition wasn't painless. He had trouble with his printer, and he had to download nearly 200 megs of updates from Apple (which in and of itself isn't a bad thing, it is just a reality of using software now a days).
