Completely agreed. The sorry state of IB in the various FreeBSD-based NAS projects (FreeNAS, and NAS4Free) seems to stem largely from people not having an idea where to start to get IB workign... so moving on (or keeping on) CentOS. Personally, I have both the equipment, and the time, to work on this. Skill will come with practise. :D + Justin -- "My grandfather once told me that there are two kinds of people: those who work and those who take the credit.
