The learning curve will be quite a bit steeper with the Linux approach, but you'll come out of it knowing a lot more about your computer than if you go with a Mac.

That said, I'm still kind of drooling over the Mac Minis.  I saw one yesterday in person and they're pretty slick, especially for the price.
