Alternate OS
1 TopicLinks to instructions for installing TrueNAS with front panel display capability on some ReadyNAS
For those looking to install an alternate OS on their RN42x, 52x, or 62x unit, here is a link to some very good instructions on installing TrueNAS Scale: https://www.reddit.com/r/truenas/comments/1ozklya/truenas_installation_on_readynas_426_a_stepbystep/ Though it's included in that post, here is the link to a project that makes the front display useful in TrueNAS Scale: https://github.com/riplatt/truenas-rn426-panel Given it requires no special Kernel and TrueNAS Scale is Debian based, I suspect that the display project can be used as the basis for doing the same under other Linux OS's (at least Debian-based ones). I take no credit other than finding this and have not done the install myself, so cannot help you if you need it. Personally, I'm looking at OMV.
