Alternative OS Installations
Bare metal installs of Windows, Linux, and VMware ESXiNeed to run OS X 10.6, Windows Server 2008/2012, Linux, or VMware ESXi? We offer over a dozen different alternative OS installations available for 2012/2014 model Mac minis. This service came from many lab hours testing and developing custom system images and scripts to take full advantage of your colocated Mac mini. Remote reboot functionality is maintained, even with Ubuntu LTS Linux distributions. We offer the option to wipe the default operating system from any Mac mini and to install an alternative operating system for FREE (additional licenses may be required).
