[QUOTE="gbyleveldt, post: 113213, member: 122"] :D To rephrase: FreeNAS doesn't have the driver support of Ubuntu so you are limited to hardware that's implicitly supported. Most mobo's come with Realtek network chips on board and support for this is bleak under FreeNAS. With the right hardware, it's a solid performer (as you have shown here). I tried FreeNAS again after I got my Microserver and really liked it, till I had top get my UPS going. Two fruitless nights wasted saw me going back to Ubuntu... Once you have some kind of guide to follow (reminder: I must update mine) headless Ubuntu is only slightly more involved to setup than FreeNAS. Granted, going in blind is challenging if you know little about Ubuntu (and I'm far from an expert). The bonus is that you get the benefit of a massive hardware support base, so you can use pretty much any hardware without performance issues. [/QUOTE]
