Android Smart TV Box 4GB as a Linux Desktop Computer - 4 years ago
I was lurking around on eBay and spotted this US Android Smart TV Box 4GB 32GB Quad-core 3D 6K Ultra HD TV Box Media Player US $21.94 + US $6 S/H = US $27.94. It is a 4-core H6 (Chinese made CPU?) system with 4 / 32 GB RAM / eMMC storage and USB3 port(s). I started to think perhaps it may not be a bad idea to grab this device and turn it into a very inexpensive Linux desktop computer. Anyone?by habibie - Off-Topic

Re: QUESTION: Would you flash your working NAS - 4 years ago
Here is an old saying: If it ain't broken, don't fix it.. I believe you can make it a dual boot, i.e. boot external OS on an external storage. In this case, you probably need to update the uboot if the original uboot doesn't support a boot from an external device, i.e. USB storage, etc. This is what I have been doing with all my Seagate Dockstar, GoFLEX Home/Net devices. They alby habibie - Debian
