FWIW, I've un-reverted back to Arch. I had never really tried the stock FW, so I wanted to give it a try. For basic NAS operations, it seems fine to me. It has some nice applications to autoload to flicker and youtube accounts, and I didn't have any problems getting ffp installed. Zyxel has it available as a package on there beta server, so it was pretty painless.
The reasons I switched back.
1) It wouldn't let me create machine users, so things like lighttpd had to have normal user access. Although I was able to limit the access to the http directory, it still made me uneasy.
2) I doesn't run motion. Motion is not available in the ffp packages, and I was unable to get it to compile due to a pthread error.
3) It makes you use a raid filesystem, so I can't move the drive somewhere else and read it.
Plus, I'm almost comfortable with Arch at this point, so I might as well stick with it.
