Hi Rob, Thank you for your reply, appreciate your time responding.
Yes you are correct, I am very unsure of the differences. I know a little about linux from my web hosting days working with the servers but by far an advanced user of it and never heard of the terminology you guys mentioned called shell, bash and laamp stack so it makes it hard to understand what you guys are trying to tell me. I tried to follow along with the car steering wheel and motorcycle handle bars example but that confused me even more. Sorry : (
What I am really not understanding is that if Busy Box is a Shell and not an operating system, how is Synology able to get this device using Busy Box to install and run several programs like PHPBB, PhpMyAdmin, MariaDB, Webalizer, Perl, a Mail Server, a VPN Server, TomCat, Wordpress, and several other programs on it? I also have ASTERISK Version 13 installed and running on it, but if Busy Box is NOT an operating system how in the world is Synology able to get Asterisk to run on it???
