Dear Snake OS developers.

I am not a programmer and find this software really useful, but a few useful 
features and key usability updates to the default installation would help the 
user-community.

However can we have a new and shiny version that is up to date and contains the 
following things by default.

1. Transmission, enabled and configured with MODEST/default values (on my build 
it always states "port closed" or some other issue.
2. Please improve the performance of NTFS and EXT filesystems for read and 
write - its way too slow to use
3. Remove the Samba clinet and replace with samba3, since the original samba 
client does not work. Only Samba3 works with my MAC OSX.
4. IP address/hostname changes - on my LAN IP sometimes changes after a reboot, 
and I cant connect with either the hostname (snake) or IP address. The only way 
I can connect is to interrogate my router and find out the DHCP client - this 
is so annoying. I've tried to assign a fixed IP but the interface refuses to 
allow me to save it.
5. Add a stable driver for Mac formatted disks as I cant mount my MAC formatted 
disks.
6. Add ability for MAC OS users to back up to Mac formatted Hard drives 
connected to the device (via MAC Time machine)
7. Display total RAM %, OS version used/available on all web pages - in top RHS 
- to enable user to monitor resource usage 
8. Upgrade option - can a link to the snake OS software repository be added to 
the firmware upgrade page?
9. Please can we have a BETTER DLNA client built in to that minidlna. Minidlna 
is too simple, and has no real config options. However when Minidlna works it 
actually is great! My issue with MiniDLNA is that... Often it stops parsing the 
media folders and only displays the first few folders... then halts. Could we 
have a better DLNA server, like PLEX which is outstanding, or improve minidlna 
and include it by default in the build.

thanks snakesters
