So i was getting a bit tired of my two aging NAS servers was fighting me every bit of the way, when ever i wanted to use them for something else than what the manufacturers intended, so i upgraded to a HP Proliant Microserver N40L that could contain the 4 drives from my Netgear Duo and Zyxel NSA 320.
Right away i installed plain Debian headless, and at this point i have finally been able to make a setup to sooth my needs without having to dig through german forums hoping that google translate would not trick me into running commands that would screw up a installation.
Owncloud, Plex, SMB shares, Bittorrent Sync, SubSonic SSH tunneling, vsftpd server. I am living the dream here, and in the process learning a lot that is not restricted to one single model of one simple tweak for some store brand NAS server. Here is a platform that lets me use my simple knowledge of Linux, while learning so many awesome things in the process that i can also use in other parts of my digital life, from my Linux Mint Laptop, to general database structure for programming.
Next up is a LAMP install to run projects from, and setting up SNORT. Good times.
