The beauty of the WebUI is that it abstracts all of that away. You don’t |
| 23 |
have to be in the know about the inner works and create pools and vdevs by |
| 24 |
hand. Though it might be handy in case something breaks in an unexpected |
| 25 |
way. |

It’s called RaspberryPi OS (formerly knows as Raspbian). It has the kernel, |
| 32 |
some start scripts and settings files that control which stuff to load at |
| 33 |
boot. Pis boot differently to x86 hardware; there is no Grub & co. |

I don’t particularly like Debian’s apt, which is why I’m also experimenting |
| 36 |
with Arch on arm, Arch being my favorite distro for my everyday these days. |
