Hi, I'm evaling both as well as other ZFS centric distros. If you want GUI management for ZFS, then FreeNAS is the ticket. Even = compared to Nappit, FreeNAS is the winner in my opinion. FreeBSD/NAS are largely the same. There 9.1.1 rel is more like FreeBSD = 9.2. But if you are fine with CLI ZFS admin, then why switch? There documentation is amazing, hats off to there team for sure. - aurf On Oct 27, 2013, at 7:16 AM, C. P.
