[DIY-Zoning-general] Hardware, again

[Vadim T. <vt...@fr...>]

Hello lurkers,

Last time I was asking the question about hardware platforms, Mac Mini
wasn't around :)

So, in a modified form: are any of you have any plans to get a Mini? I'm
tempted to buy it - it seems that it has more than sufficient computing
power to run the home automation software along with whatever else it's
supposed to be doing, plus, it has the sexiest form factor - which may be
somewhat significant from "SO approval factor" standpoint :)

Somewhat related - I'm still analyzing autoconfiguration aspects in depth,
and taking a very close look at Rendezvous
(http://zeroconf.org/Rendezvous/). It's supported natively on Mac, and more
support is coming - I was playing with the browser, and turned out that the
network I've run it on has some Rendezvous aware devices already - printers,
iTunes, etc. There's a limitation - in current form, it will not work across
the router, or, in other words, beyond a single subnet. I wonder, does
anyone run a home network with multiple subnets or I'm the only paranoid one
out there?

Did anyone ever try DZ on a Mac OS X?
