Hi Everyone
Is anyone using Linux Mint on their NAS?
I've got two N54L Servers both loaded with drives, I use them to access and store all my media and data.
Installed on each is Windows 10, I like having access to them with a front end OS aswell as remote access via drive mapping etc.
However I've started to run into a few problems, Windows 10 seems to update a lot and cause each server to freeze so a reboot is required, also I've notice some buffering when I stream media from the servers via Kodi playing HD video even though the are hardwired to my network.
So I was gonna swap out the OS on each and use a Linux based software and really like the look and feel of Mint.
I've tried other software in the past such as FreeNas, Windows Home Server 2012 and Windows 7, each had their own Issues so I settled for Windows 10.
What does everyone think or use for their setups?
Thanks
Pete
