And the fact that you can loose that footprint by booting it from cd/floppy is even better. The only trouble with using older motherboards is having the ability to boot from CD which we all take for granted nowadays. However, FreeNAS will detect large HDDs that BIOSs on older motherboards don't. Having a bit of trouble getting FTP working, but I think thats the NAT on my firewalled router blocking it. Looking forward to the RADIUS support that they plan to add! I must admit, its small footprint is something that really impresses me too.

In fact, I have made FreeNAS one of the focuses of my blog Daily Cup of Tech (<a href="http://www.DailyCupOfTech.com" rel="nofollow">http://www.DailyCupOfTech.com</a>). One of the things that really impresses me about FreeNAS is the fact that this free OS can be up and running in a matter of minutes, opening you up to the ability to store file on the system using Windows, FTP, RSYNC, and more! And it only takes up 32 MB on the disk! I have written a number of articles about FreeNAS. A lot of it is about how to set up and configure the system to work with your Windows network. All of the articles can be found at <a href="http://www.dailycupoftech.com/category/freenas/" rel="nofollow">http://www.dailycupoftech.com/category/freenas/</a>. I hope you find them to be useful.
