It's very well supported (running kernel 4.3 from testing now, the only thing that doesn't work is the crypto accelerator) and it gives you a lot of flexibility while keeping the advantages of the hardware (low cost, footprint and power consumption).
- creshal 11y agoThat would have been an interesting alternative, yes. (The NAS systems are long sold or dead, but the Linux boxes that replaced them are running Debian too.) The hardware is decent for the price, it's just the software that's problematic.
