Sounds like you suceeded to do what I'd like to do, i.e. install Debian
alongside, without destroying the NAS functions.
Would you be able to summarize the steps you followed?
Performance is no real issue for me either, I just want to serve media over my
local network to a Roku+Roksbox media player. Roxbox looks for a webserver, so
Apache will do the job. I did this for a Buffalo Linkstation LS2-MIPSEL NAS
and it works fine but it's only small.
