Looking at the work that has been put into making FreeNAS, it might be wort= hwhile to ask the developers when a version based on 8.x and supporting your card will be available. But if that is not an option, looking at the features of FreeNAS [http://freenas.org/features], I'd say you need _at least_ the following po= rts to more-or-less replicate the functionality of FreeNAS; Network protocols: - net/samba34 (for windows clients) - net/netatalk (for Apple clients) - ftp/proftpd (FTP) - net/rsync - net/unison - (NFS comes with the base system) - dns/inadyn - net/istgt Extra Services - net-p2p/transmission (bittorrent) - net/mediatomb (UPnP server) - audio/firefly (iTunes/DAAP) - www/lighttpd or www/apache22 (web server) System tools - sysutils/smartmontools (disk monitoring) - sysutils/rsyslog55 (secure remote logging) - ports-mgmt/portmaster (keeping ports up to date) - (portsnap comes with the base system.) - (sshd comes with the base system.) What you'll be missing is the FreeNAS web setup tools. I would download and install FreeNAS on a virtual machine just to look at the configurations for the different ports, so you don't have to figure that out all by yourself. = :-) On the other hand, if you only have to serve files for MS Windoze clients, = you might get by with installing samba and its dependencies and not much else. Anything that you don't install is one less item to configure and keep up-to-date.
