Hi,
I tried to install VMWare Server on the ReadyNAS Pro back in March of 2009, but was not successful. Until today I was not aware that this has been done successfully. One application that could really be used with the VMWare Server running on the ReadyNAS is installing Asterisk, or rather trixbox, which is Asterisk, Web GUI, Webmin, and other tools together with a distro of CentOS. This way you could run a home IP telephony PBX on the ReadyNAS. Have you tried to do this? Are you interested in trying?
Also, how confident are you that if these steps are tried on the ReadyNAS Pro that holds important data, there is no risk to losing the data?
Thanks!
