There's no reason one couldn't run all the normal LAMPS stuff on the Mac
Mini with OS X.  I have apache, postgresql, mysql, php, python, perl, etc.
running on my PPC Mac Mini, all built from source.

I haven't tried FreeBSD on the Macs.  The most adventurous I've been so far
is to put Yellowdog Linux on an old 450MhZ G4 tower, mostly to see how it
worked -- pretty much the same as our other RPM-based systems running
CentOS and SuSE.
