FreeNAS Switching From FreeBSD To Debian Linux

[Matt Middleton]

Thanks for the heads-up! I'm running FreeNAS 0.7 at home, and while it  
works pretty well for most things, I might be interested in trying the  
LiveCD of 0.8 to see if it addresses a weird glitch I've run in to  
when accessing NTFS drives (still migrating my old data off the drives)

> 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

> 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.
