[$] OpenMediaVault: a distribution for NAS boxes
The Linux community has no shortage of general-purpose distributions that
can be made to serve almost any need. But many Linux deployments are not
on general-purpose machines; often the owner has a more specific objective
in mind. One such objective is to put together a network-attached storage (NAS)
box. A general-purpose distribution can easily be used in such a setting,
but there are also several specialized distributions that make the task
easier. This article, the first in a series, will look at OpenMediaVault, a Debian-based
NAS-oriented distribution.
