Does this have a pre-installed O/S? or can I install my own? Such as Ubuntu.

I'm thinking of running Ubuntu Server off of it.
Like Manic said, it's not a computer per se. It uses an embedded version of Linux written specifically for the dedicated chip inside the device. (i.e. it's a special Linux implementation written especially for the chip used in the NAS) If you Google hacking DNS-323 you can find a few different options out there. However, you won't be able to pick up a version of Ubuntu and load it on the NAS.
