As much as I love Synology products one glaring omission has been the lack of Linux support to set up the Disk Station. Bearing in mind that the products themselves run Linux it seems very strange that you have to use a Mac or Windows PC to get them up and running.

Reading this announcement I’m pleased to see that they have a beta release that now supports Linux. Well it actually states that it supports Ubuntu but I really hope they work on releasing packages for other distributions or at least the source so we can compile it for ourselves.

In the worst case I can still install it using Ubuntu in a virtual machine, still miles better than having to have Windows around just for this.
