Debian on Thecus N2100

[Ross Burton <ross@burtonini.com>]

Hi all,

I'm about to order a re-badged N2100 for use as a home NAS, and have a
few questions about getting Debian onto it.

I see that 4.0r1 is broken, is it best to install r0 or are there
installer images with the fixed kernel on?  I could try installing Sid,
but I'd prefer something known to work. :)

I've never done software RAID before, so I'm being cautious.  Is it
fairly simple with the Debian installer to setup a 4G /, 1G swap, and
the rest as /home, all on RAID-1?  Would I need a separate /boot, or is
the initramfs in the flash sufficient?

Thanks for any help, and please CC me on any replies because I'm not on
the list.

Cheers,
Ross
