FreeNAS Switching From FreeBSD To Debian Linux

[Michael Lauzon]

>From Slashdot (http://linux.slashdot.org/story/09/12/06/152205/FreeNAS-Switching-From-FreeBSD-To-Debian-Linux):

FreeNAS (http://www.freenas.org/), a popular, free NAS solution, is
moving away from using FreeBSD as its underlying core OS and switching
to Debian Linux. Version 0.8 of FreeNAS as well as all further
releases are going to be based on Linux, while the FreeBSD-based 0.7
branch of FreeNAS is going into maintenance-only mode, according to
main developer Volker Theile. A discussion about the switch, including
comments from the developers, can be found on the FreeNAS SourceForge
discussion forum
(http://sourceforge.net/apps/phpbb/freenas/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=3966&start=0).
Some users applaud the change, which promises improved hardware
compatibility, while others voice concerns regarding the future of
their existing setups and lack of ZFS support in Linux.
