It seems that Netgear has finally canned the ReadyNAS family and it seems unlikely that any further significant OS updates will be forthcoming. I have a couple of ReadyNAS units and would quite like to just get rid of ReadyNAS OS completely and do a fresh install of Debian Bullseye.
Is this something that is relatively straightforward (or indeed even possible!) to do?
If so, does anyone have any instructions that you might be able to share?
The Pro6 and Ultra6 both have internal headers onto which you can mount a VGA connector cable, which makes them a lot easier to convert. They are also basically a generic Intel PC under the hood, just one with a lot of drive slots. The 204 will be trickier because you only have the serial port for communications when installing the OS, memory is not expandable, and you have to deal with UBOOT.
You can Google and find where others have done just what you are proposing.
