[SATLUG] OT / OOS (Off Topic / Off OS): FreeNAS anyone?

[George, Jason (San Antonio)]

Fellow LUGgers-

I’m considering implementing a FreeNAS (http://www.freenas.org/) server in my casa.  My plan calls for using an older box, a Compact Flash card (w/ CF to IDE adapter) as the FreeNAS home drive and whatever disks I can scrounge up as storage.

Anyone here have any advice, tips or success / horror stories they're willing to share?  Thanks! -Jason
