chroot'ed Debian Squeeze on Readynas

I don't get why you want to do that, just get a mini htpc dedicated to play video etc.. Then run everything headless on the nas, accessible maybe in the browser, depending on what you have installed of course. As an example, i intend to run sabnzbd, sickbeard, couchpotato and headphones in the chroot, all of them which are accessible through the web browser. 8) This requires that you have a little bit knowledge in using debian/ubuntu, apt and so forth. :)

I already have a mini HTPC and I'm not trying to watch video on the NAS. It would just be nice to configure stuff from X. It'd be nice to VNC into the NAS to do other things securely while away from home.

I only have a Duo V2 and run Sab, Sick, Couch, Headphones, & ZNC. A Headphones and ZNC addon wasn't available yet so I had to manually set those up. You'll love them. Some don't have HTTPS so setting up an SSH tunnel works nice for remotely accessing those securely from the web browser. The addons work so good (except for sickbeard on SPARC at the moment), I'd probably use the chroot for things that don't have an addon. When using apt, squeeze package versions seem pretty old, I changed my sources to wheezy to get a more up to date version of ZNC.
