By basic I mean simple filesystem creation, snapshots and normal devices. Not some crazy SAN LUNs and weird volume management stuff. I would really love to use FBSD as opposed to a Solaris derivative, since I know nothing about them and I'd have to dedicate a machine for it at home. Hrm. I wonder if I could just get by running a Solaris derivative inside of a VM in VMware or something.
