No keyboard, no mouse, no eject.

You could use something like Remote Buddy in order to access a virtual keyboard and mouse, that will allow you to do quite a lot with just the Apple remote, including eject a disc.

Thx all for the help, one more thing -

After my mini wakes up from a sleep my mounted a shared folders (from my PC) are gone. Is there a way to "make" them stay?

What are you using a front end? I just checked Front Row and there is an eject menu option for DVD's.

I'm using FR, but I insert a DVD with divX movies in it - I see the movie/s via movies menu.

Take a look at this (http://www.bombich.com/mactips/automount.html)
they cover nfs and afp, but I am pretty sure it works for smb as well-
