The processor that drives this box is a Marvell SoC 88F5181. There are
other NAS boxes that are driven by Marvell SoC 88F5182.
Since the Linux kernel is completely GPLed, you can boot to a small
firmware like U-Boot and then boot completely off the hard drive.
Doing that you can start with small Fedora distro and then 'yum install'
other packages.
