OpenIndiana Jones

So, after a bunch of research about building a DIY NAS, I decided to buy a whole bunch of hardware to do so. But, the real question was which software to use. FreeNAS seems to be the most popular solution, and I heard it was better than something called OpenFiler.

Helpful for just a couple lines of code.
