FreeNAS makes it easy to add storage to home networks (Linux.com)
Linux.com looks at
FreeNAS. "FreeNAS is a small, powerful, full-featured implementation
of FreeBSD as a network-attached storage device. (It also happens to be
January's Project of the Month at SourceForge.net.) If you're a Linux user
like me, the BSD-speak used for devices and such might give you pause, but
other than that small caveat, installation and usage shouldn't be a
problem. It's powerful enough to be used in the enterprise, but it's
friendly enough so that even a typical home office user can take advantage
of it. Here's how I created an easy-to-use NAS device for rsync backups and
FTP server on my LAN."

looks similar to NSLU2 Posted Jan 23, 2007 13:05 UTC (Tue) by slist (guest, #38416) [Link] It's similar to NSLU2 Debian. NSLU2 is a fanless NAS at only 100$.FreeNAS makes use of an old noisy PC wich can potentially consumme more power. But ok, it's a good way to recycle your old PC.
