Not tried it myself, but have heard that the mac mini is ideal for using 
as a linux server. In fact, some webhosts specifically offer minis with 
linux (eg: http://www.positive-internet.com/dolphin/dolphinmini.html).

The main problem with the mini vis-a-vis linux was with the soundcard; 
not a necessity for serving, and I believe most of these problems have 
been sorted out.
