Hi folks, I'm expecting to receive two harddisks which I've bought to put in a old pc to act as backup server. Now I'm planning it all and got stuck because of the options and particularly I'm having the following two choices: a) install a pure freebsd 6.1 box with geom/geli capabilities b) install freenas (www.freenas.org) Can somebody share his/her feelings regarding this matter? What are the advantages/disadvantages of both solutions? I guess I would really like to have a stable environment and mirroring and encryption are important to mee. Hope somenody can help.
