[GTALUG] Which Distro is Best for Running a ZFS-on-Linux Fileserver.

[Alex Volkov]

Hey Amos,

Why not FreeBSD?

This is one of the first projects to get ZFS ported, in my experience 
it's the closest thing to general-purpose linux distro in BSD land that 
you can get.

All the GNU tools are available for FreeBSD and shell commands aren't 
that arcane.

If you're only going to use the machine for hosting ZFS it might be 
worth it.

Alex.
