Raspberry Pi2 Installation

Good Morning / afternoon / evening (depending on location)
I'm really excited to get up and going on this site.

I've just purchased a Raspberry Pi2 to add to my computing collection and am thinking of using this for a super low power NAS. I aim to access this internally and Externally.

I have only had a quick look at OMV and it looks like a great alternative to FreeNAS which i have used in the past.

Storage wise i will be using USB drives (a few 128gb sticks) or an external HDD. I'm mainly just hosting files so i can share them with my friends who i sometimes work with on photography projects and to centrally hold my work that i submit to magazines etc.

Can anyone advise of any guides out there to install this onto the Pi? Do i need an OS on there first and then install OMV ontop?

I hope someone can help me out as i'm eager to get this going.
Thanks in advance.

That easy eh!? Ok, well Pi should arrive some point today and i will try to flash my card tonight with it and see what happens....

Sounds good to me! i presume it's also pretty easy to set up access from outside the home network too.

that should be easy enough, do you think owncloud would work well enough with OMV or should i just see if i can install owncloud as a standalone?
