Thanks for the help everyone, my NAS is now running Debian Etch.
However, I can't get Avahi to work, the initial announce works but any
subsequent queries fail: it appears that multicast packets are being
dropped by the network driver. Has anyone else seen this, and if so are
there any workarounds or solutions?
(please CC me, I'm not on the list)
Cheers,
