This is a bit of a pain, but you get used to the rate at which you can  
cue forward/backward - I don't find it a major showstopper.

Nope - never seen this - My Mini runs Frontend for months at a time  
and it's never locked the machine.

I have also considered running Linux on the Mini, but I use it to  
mirror my iPhoto and iTunes libraries, and it therefore makes running  
MacOS a nicer option - to each his own.
