Sonia Loves FreeNAS

Recently Sonia has been banging on to me about FreeNAS.

FreeNAS is a Linux based operating system that turns old and apparently useless computers into Network Attached Storage - kind of like a file server.

The FreeNas people say...

"FreeNAS™ is an Open Source Storage Platform based on FreeBSD and supports sharing across Windows, Apple, and UNIX-like systems.  FreeNAS™ 8 includes ZFS, which supports high storage capacities and integrates file systems and volume management into a single piece of software."

It is a place to put you files people...backups, shared files and so on.

If you've got an old computer laying around doing nothing and you feel like having a play, give FreeNAS a go.
