DIY Ubuntu NAS with AFP, SMB, DLNA and iTunes
I have been posting a lot about the LaCie Network Space recently. I finally had the courage to try and tinker with it and managed to add ssh and obtain root access. I was overjoyed, I proceeded to install ipkg, a package management tool much like apt-get, but suitable for weaker or embedded systems. The first thing I did was to install rsync, which I used to backup my data to an external usb drive. About one day after my backups were finished, the Network Space froze up on me and has now become an elegant yet unresponsive black box.
So I setup up my own NAS server on my spare Ubuntu laptop that plays nice with my Mac, serves media files to my Samsung LE40B650 and even shares my music with iTunes. Updated 2010.1.1
Samsung LE40B650 and Wireless Mode
The other day I wrote briefly about the Samsung LE40B650 LCD TV and the great features it has. Now, my first gripe with the firmware. Updated
Samsung LE40B650
I am not going to post a full review of the Samsung LE40B650 because there are many good reviews out there. No point reinventing the wheel.
Instead here are some of my impressions and experiences with the TV and its features.
