Re: a little nas for linn ds
Interesting! I am considering trying Linux on my NAS, but have never installed Linux before (used to DOS commands though). Is installing and setting up of wifi and Twonky complicated for a Linux beginner? If not, would you write some further instructions or know any good link?wywyaa wrote:Install instructions:

Re: a little nas for linn ds
Interesting information on your NAS project. Just one question: How do you go about buying this case if you can't read Chinese? (The Google translator is virtually no help.)

I'm also using a Raspberry Pi with Raspbmc(XBMC) for movies and IP-TV (Svt Play, You Tube etc) and it is really stunning for the price (and power consumption). Just waiting for a Songcast app in Raspbmc(XBMC).....
I use a QNAP NAS for streaming, have anyone compared the Raspberry Pi NAS with other ones?
