    Help! NAS w/ 2 HDD in RAID1 + Ext HDD for 5 local XP users

    Indeed, this NAS is based on an 1.6Ghz ARM cpu, I believe -- 256mb of RAM :( Just finished skimming through a long and confusing forum thread on installing Debian on this NAS. Screw it. Out of my league. Time to build a minimal raid-1 Windows sharing box :\

    Help! NAS w/ 2 HDD in RAID1 + Ext HDD for 5 local XP users

    GregN, thanks for the info. Much appreciated. After some more research, it seems like the only solution would be to install Linux on this NAS. Sage's Simply Accounting has recently released their "Connection Manager" application for Linux. Will report on how this goes.

    Acquired the Linkstation. Tried to use as a storage for Sage's Simply Accounting. Turns out that the latter requires one to install its "Data Manager application" where the data resides. So that didn't work. I'm contemplating installing NFS on the NAT (unsupported out-of-the-box)...

    Help! NAS w/ 2 HDD in RAID1 + Ext HDD for 5 local XP users

    Hey there! I'm a networking noob thinking of setting up a small NAS with a shared folder to share small accounting files at work. ~5 local WinXP Windows users will be accessing the NAS' shared drive. Thinking of RAID-1 w/ 2 HDD and an external HDD w/ automated daily backup. Internet...
