    Amahi Server

    Hi, Has anyone tried Amahi? I'm just trying out freenas and have had a bunch of problems. I'm also finding it very slow although this might be because of my network. Any chance of a review on this site? LIP

    Ubuntu as a NAS instead of Ubuntu Server

    Hi, Just wondering what would be the negatives of running Ubuntu desktop as a NAS/server instead of Ubuntu server? Any problems setting up RAID or anything like this? I would imagine everything should be easier? LIP

    Building my own NAS

    Hi, I pulled the trigger on the above except that the memory was the wrong type and I also went with WD green drives. I'm going to try my hand with freenas (new beta version as the 0.69 doesn't support the integrated NIC on the giga motherboard). LIP

    Building my own NAS

    Hi guys, Looking for some recommendations for components to build by own NAS. I'm a total newbie with this but have built pc's before.
