Due to the fact that FreeNAS is quite stable and runs on 32MB of footprint, and flash bootable, alongside web based easy management console, FreeNAS stood ahead of others. True it has few hiccups and lack of very few good-to have features, but all in all it is the best free NAS OS out there.  NAS box in theory should not run other software except bear minimum to facilitate file sharing. In this sense FreeNAS will not impose any issues on extendability ect.My greatest challenge with FreeNAS is the fact that FreeBSD is alien to me, and getting LCDProc to work there is lot of work ahead.[FONT=&quot][/FONT][FONT=&quot]NOTE: One can easily use Linux, stripping off other software and keep SAMBA etc. making a Linux file server. There are many web based file browsing software available, which can give easy remote access to the GUI file management. In this case, there are many LCD software’s out there and setting them up on Linux is well documented and proved to be easy.[/FONT]</blockquote>
