Evans FreeNAS is effectively a FreeBSD distribution emphasizing storage. It is open source and free of cost: http://www.freenas.org/ The CDs are nice, but you can download an ISO also. iXSystems have TrueNAS, which is costly. My understanding is that FreeNAS is a subset of TrueNAS. See: http://www.ixsystems.com/storage/ix/truenas/ for more information. Daniel Feenberg
