Well, I booted it and it is FreeNAS. I got it on a USB stick tho. |
| 27 |
Well, I put the installer on one stick and then installed on a second |
| 28 |
stick. Kinda odd but I get it. I also noticed it is BSD based. I |
| 29 |
played with BSD once before. One thing I can say, it's secure. Big time. |

I see it uses ZFS or something. No mention of LVM. I figured that. Oh |
| 32 |
well. |

If I can't hammer FreeNAS into shape, I'll try TrueNAS next. If it |
| 35 |
works, that's fine too. ;-) |

P. S. When I first booted, I didn't have the ethernet plugged in. It |
| 44 |
wasn't happy about that. Given it is NAS software, I should have known |
| 45 |
better. ROFL |
