Hello,
I'm new here and I'm interested in testing xpenology before probably buying a syno ds solution (or a n54l dedicated ... ???). For beginning I tested it on a virtual box machine, but that's not significant enough, and I don't want to let my PC on all day and night. But that let me see UI and feel and look, and that seems really efficient, easy to use, etc.
Now, what I would like to do is : installing it on my old eeepc that I use rarely now. It has an atom n450 that should be enough for a nas solution (in testing period at least).
Here are my questions, wish someone here could help ... :
- Is there a way to install xpenology on a usb key (all the os on a usb key, not only booting from a usb key to install it after on an HDD) ?. Why I want that ? :
- Because I would like to keep my current system on my eeepc hdd (windows started edition) : I use it when I go on vacations for example
- Because, Even if I change the hdd, I'd like it to be used only for storing data and not for using system
- Because I'd like to keep my fast boot asus functionnality that allows to boot really quickly on a chromium browser and some other tools
- Would that configuration be enough on your opinion ? There's only 1Gb RAM and 1 HDD + 3 USB (so 1 for booting, and other for other usage, backing up, or for copying nas data on a external drive)
- Any recommandations ?
My eeepc is 1005pe :

Sorry for my poor english, I'm a french guy, and I'm not used to write message in english (at least not since some years), so if you need any details, please feel free to ask me, and if some things are not clear in my message also
I think that kind of distribution is really extraodinary !! I enjoy to think it exists, and forza xpenology !! (and synology !!! )
Thanks in advance,
Kind regards
