Why would a NAS need more than one OS?
dual boot on a NAS?
Hey all
Im putting an old system to good use this weekend and putting a couple of linux distros on it. I was also considering putting something like free NAS on there.
Is it a good idea to have a NAS dual or triple booted with other OSs. There will also be 3 hard drives in there so plenty of space but would it work?

it wouldn't, but i dont need a full 24/7 nas server. I would like to play with one and have it there for external backups from my main system.
I also want to have a second system for messing around in linux. neither of which would be needed at the same time so I may as well have one machine that does both jobs rather than 2 machines doing 2 jobs.

If you're just playing around, then you can put whatever you want on it.
You might want to take a look at Amahi Home Server, though.
