Here are a couple Linux appliances (appliances meaning you download an iso, burn a cd, and these NAS systems install automatically, so you don't have to know anything about Linux).
FreeNAS is smaller/faster meant for old/slow hardware or embedded systems: http://www.freenas.org/ Openfiler is bigger, but with more features and not meant for slow servers: http://www.openfiler.com/ In general, FreeNAS is probably much easier to setup for a newbie and has won some open source awards, it's VERY nice. I don't know why anyone would buy a NAS with something like FreeNAS out there, the small consumer level NAS devices are kinda slow (not to mention expensive). Hope this info helps. -- webfoot_tech ------------------------------------------------------------------------ webfoot_tech's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=13273 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=38468 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
