"It's finally arrived - the first Mac Mini clone. Our review system was supplied by Evesham, but the barebone chassis is manufactured by AOpen and has been known as the 'Pandora'. Sadly this catchy name is gone - AOpen has re-named it the Mini PC, which is just plain boring. Anyhow, name aside, this is a really cool-looking little machine - it arguably looks even better than the Mac Mini, mainly due to its aluminium case."

1. It is too slow. I need *niX mostly for multitasking features. Threading on Darwin plain sucks
Yeah. Another one that doesn't understand that Mac OS X hasn't a Unix Kernel and took the Anandtech test for the truth.
Do your homework, the mach kernel doesn't use "fork" for creating a thread just as all unix systems, it only uses it to create a process.
" In Unix, the only way to create a new process is through the fork system call (or variant). In Mac OS X, tasks and threads are created and manipulated using Mach calls. Now, user programs typically do not deal with Mach tasks or threads directly. The Pthreads package in the system library creates Mach threads, but no user-space code typically creates Mach tasks."
