I run a number of servers with FreeBSD 14.0 on Mac Mini's. I run them = on the bare hardware. The boot is very slow as it takes the Mac awhile = to decide to boot in non-Mac mode. I use SSH to connect to them from a = variety of machines. I also have several of those off-site for backups. = All the machines have power and ethernet only. Currently all are the = Intel Minis I believe although I have run FreeBSD 13 on a M1 Mini for = awhile to test it out. I have recently been using Raspberry Pi 4s as = they are cheaper, smaller, and use less power. They are a bit slower = for disk access, but otherwise just as powerful.=20 My console system is an M1 mini with a large screen etc. Terminal works = fine although I use JellifiSSH to manage the connections. -- Doug
