Nope! I have Linux installed on my Macbook Air, and while I don't use it

a whole lot, it works just fine.

Yep, that's pretty much it -- use Mac OS X's partitioning tools to

resize your OS X partition to give yourself some free space to work

with, install rEFIt, and then just boot from the install CD of your

choice. As long as your selected distro supports all of the hardware,

the install process isn't much different to a standard PC -- just make

sure you install the boot loader on to your Linux partition, rather than

the disk's MBR.
If Tango Studio isn't modern enough to support all of the Mac Mini's

hardware, you might have better luck with something like Ubuntu 12.04.
Thanks
