Debian on Network Storage Devices and Other Devices
How to give a good install experience on devices that are not PCs
Network Storage Devices (NAS) are are gaining popularity and are available quite inexpensively. For most customers, they are basically just a hard drive that you connect to the network for file storage. In reality, these devices are complete, even if fairly low-end, computers - and Debian can be installed on some of them. Recently, there has also been a lot of interest in supporting other devices, such as netbooks and more embedded devices.
This talk will:
- Briefly introduce the NAS devices we currently support in Debian.
- Explain how Debian and the Debian installer support NAS devices in a very easy way.
- Share the experience gained working with users (i.e. what works, what doesn't).
- Look at future devices that would be nice to support and a number of other features that users have requested.
