Serviio on Emprex BTC NSD-100 P2P Download Engine

Have tried Serviio on my desktop PC, and found it to be super at sorting out video to my Sony telly.

Now I am about to get an aforementioned Emprex unit - it says it can be used as a NAS (via a USB attached Drive). Have searched all forums for 'emprex' with no results. Anyway, should I be able to install Serviio on it? At only £10 it's a bit of a bargain, and I intend to use it as a basic NAS and printer server (which it says it can do), but any additional functionality it could provide would also be greatly welcomed :)

Cheers
Alex

It's ARM9 apparently:

Here's some info about putting Debian on it:

64MB RAM is very possibly too little to run a Java VM.

Probably, Serviio takes about 40MB after startup

256mb at its extreme lowest id would say and i would recommend 512mb+ to avoid transcoding issues.

Thank you for the replies.
I have just received the goods, so will be having a play with it. As long as it'll work as a NAS and a print server, which it says it will then I'll be happy. DLNA server appears to be like wanting the moon on a stick. Never mind, something'll come along soon that's cheap and will work!
