Is it possible to use 102 as a caddy + ether and Usb?
Hi and thank you for reading. I did search a little but could see not an answer to this. After experimenting with the 102, I'm finding it a lot more work than I need for my simple requirement. I w...
I dislike windows for "normal people".
Windows is more secure than OS X and many Linux distributions (but since it's more attacked...) and adapted for gamers. Enterprises will find that Microsoft provides great tools for management (Exchange, Sharepoint, WSUS, AD...). That said, Linux is king for personalisation, portability and performance and is now quite simple to use. OS X is the simplest to use and Open BSD is the most secure OS I know of.
There is no fully fledged version of windows running on ARM. You get a slimmed down version with Modern UI only, pointless when you can't even plug a screen or a keyboard on a RN102.
For netbooks I don't see the point of having a Windows, I like windows 8.1 for tablets but netbooks have no touch screen and with XP support stopped, that's not a safe bet. I would have put a linux with LXDE, XFCE or enlightenment instead.
The only escape I see from Netgear's interface is to use iSCSI or to install something to replace it, webmin ? As I pointed out, vocabulary is the same across interfaces, being windows or not. With iSCSI sharing is not a necessity though, you can use it as local storage. That said, I'm using iSCSI for ESX, not for Windows so I don't know how to configure it for windows.
