Here’s my Dell Mini 9 running Mac OS X Snow Leopard 10.6.1.
I followed the instructions on MyDellMini.com to do the upgrade from Leopard 10.5.7. The internal drive has been upgraded to a RunCore 64GB SSD so the easiest way to upgrade is to remove it, connect it to another Mac via USB, then do all the installations before refitting it in the Mini.
Don’t forget to DISABLE the Legacy USB support in the BIOS to prevent the computer locking up in sleep mode.
Just got a new Dell 24″ monitor. Just for research purposes, I tried connecting it to my Dell Mini 9 and then rotating the monitor to portrait mode. A couple of Display Preference clicks later I had this! It’s running the 24″ at 1200 by 1920 pixels.
There’s something of a brouhaha over this report from the BBC.
