I note those models don’t have any HDMI (no point as originally shipped with CPUs without built in graphics support). That would make the Debian install trickier.
im considering making some images that can be sprayed on and grown.

Hi,
And what about RN316? I'm just curious about magic with built-in flash storage. I took a hard copy of it, so I'm covered. Currently I'm running xpenology on it via arcloader on attached USB drive. RN316 also has HDMI output so I was able to access bios and change boot order. But I'm looking something better to avoid booting from external flash drive.
