I done got myself a Mac (say that in a southern accent)

I got my first Mac today. It's a Mac Mini, 1.2 MHz G4 processor with 512 megs of ram and 80 gig HD. It's really fucking cool. It's soooooo small and sooooo quiet. As people I know have heard me say over and over again, I've been looking for a completely quiet PC for a long time. I was actually planning on doing watercooling until I decided to buy a Mac.

So, I have this Mac thingy now, let me tell you a little bit about what I think of it. The OS fucking kicks ass! It's really cool. All unix shit is there. Fink lets me get packages just like apt-get on Debian. I'm kinda weirded out by the installation process for a new app. I installed X11, XCode, and Fink right away and I'm currently compiling the Gimp, which is taking a fucking long ass time. And the mouse moves kinda weird, it's not like Windows or Linux. I wonder what's different, is it the acceleration?

Now, here's the big let-down: The Mac Mini is really slow compared to even a cheap PC. I had convincing myself that the G* processors are faster than Intel processors of the same speed. But, it doesn't seem like it's by much. Opening new tabs in Firefox takes a perceivable amount of time where my PC does it almost instantaneously. Yeah, I know: Compare this to what I was using even three years ago at home. But the most important thing for me is the lack of noise.
