I'm happy with both of them, especially given how cheap they are.
You will need to be reasonably happy wielding a soldering iron and
compiling kernels to get Debian installed, but that's all part of
the fun :)
Porting d-i to new devices like these typically isn't particularly hard. I
managed to work out how to do it for the DNS-323. That allows people who
aren't so keen on a soldering iron to participate in the full Debiany
goodness on their NAS.
I have wondered about trying this. However, I was under the impression
that I should be getting support into the mainline kernel first, otherwise
any patches to the debian kernel wouldn't be accepted. Is this true?
D-link offer a "fun_plug" hook in the init scripts that will run anything
installed on the SATA drive. This could in theory be used to run d-i in a
chroot environment and install Debian to NAND/HDD. This seems easier &
safer than flashing a temporary installer image on the NAND. Does anything
attempt anything similar?
