Determine your hardware revision
To determine which version / generation of Macmini you have, you can ...
either click in OS X on the Apple on the top left, then "About this Mac" -- "More Info...", see the generation in the "Model Identifier" row; or ...
... under Ubuntu, you can find out what model you have, by typing at the terminal:
sudo dmidecode -s system-product-name
A terminal is opened by going to Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal.
It will tell you something like Macmini2,1 for example.
