Aha, Ubuntu is working. I don't know how, but when I install Ubuntu and go to network it shows my NAS Workgroup 4 times. One is SMB, one is AFP (Apple File Protocol ?), one is FTP, and the other doesn't do anything. If I mount the SMB one and create a bookmark then it seems to stick. Don't know how you would go about getting NFS, or whether SMB is the best of the other options,.but the main thing is I didn't have to learn any terminal commands first. So, I'll see how it goes, but thus far, Ubuntu is the winner.
It's a real shame it didn't work in Solus as that looked a lot cleaner and seemed a lot quicker than Ubuntu. But, anyway I'm up and underway with Kodi working in Ubuntu and Rhythmbox is scanning my music so I can do away with iTunes at the same time as Windows. If it all works I'll be over the moon.
Thanks for your help.
