ReadyNAS Duo v2: apt-get and free P2P clients?
Hello all, before asking what I intented to ask, I wanted to provide a "feeling" of this unit: a brand new ReadyNAS Duo V2 unit, on which I installed a 2TB Samsung F4 in Flex-RAID/JBOD configuratio...
a) apt-get is pre-installed on x86 and ARM, that is it's included in the firmware. Years ago Sparc didn't have SSH available as an option so apt-get wasn't and still isn't included in the firmware for Sparc.
You can of course alternatively also use wget to download a debian package and install it using dpkg
b) The add-on installer isn't free. As for Transmission itself it would be donate-ware to the developers of the Transmission source code. If you look at the Genie App store which is the way things are going on the v2, you'll find the Transmission Genie App there is developed by super-poussin. If you want to try to install stuff manually yourself but you'd need to do the work to make sure it works. When you weigh up your time versus paying for the Genie App I reckon it'd be much cheaper to buy the app.
