RE: Thecus N299
How does "solder onto the RedBoot UART" count as a "remote exploit"? ;)

Subject: Thecus N299
Hi,
aparently Thecus has released a new, incredibly cheap, 2-Bay NAS, the
N299. It seems to run on the Gemini SL3516[1] which seems to have all
the necessary code already available under the GPL [2]. Now, since
I'm a cheapo, and the N2100 costs twice as much, I'm quite
interested. I wonder if anyone could (maybe someone has actually seen
one?) could give me an educated guess as to
... whether it will be possible to get a root shell without waiting
for a new remote exploit?
... whether it will eventually be possible to run Debian on this box?
... how it might stack up to the N2100 performance-wise?
All comments appreciated!
Kind regards,
Michael
