    If you convert it to OS-6 you'll be running Debian 8.  The current release (6.10.1) shows the following:

    root@NAS:~# uname -srm
    Linux 4.4.178.x86_64.1 x86_64

    root@NAS:~# cat /etc/os-release PRETTY_NAME="ReadyNASOS 6.10.1" NAME="Debian GNU/Linux" VERSION_ID="8" VERSION="8 (jessie)" ID=debian HOME_URL="http://www.debian.org/" SUPPORT_URL="http://www.debian.org/support" BUG_REPORT_URL="https://bugs.debian.org/"

    If you want to continue to run OS-6 you'll need to stick with Netgear-supplied linux.

     

    There's a lot of information on how to do the conversion in this forum.  One of several links is here: https://community.netgear.com/t5/Using-your-ReadyNAS-in-Business/Lost-contact-with-NAS-after-upgrading-Windows-10/m-p/1656875#M150811

     

    This conversion isn't supported by Netgear - meaning they won't provide paid support if you do it.
