I want to use FreeNAS as a database system, and I'm wondering what it will cost to use FreeBSD with FreeNAS. I see the Version I would like is $40 for a four CD set, but that does not mean I get to use the server version of it. What is the server version going to cost? FreeBSD is intended as a server platform; there isn't a different consumer and server version, although you can tune the platform for specific tasks if you like. FreeBSD CD/DVD images are freely available for download; see: http://www.freebsd.org/where.html ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/releases/amd64/amd64/ISO-IMAGES/9.0/ FreeNAS is a modified version of FreeBSD, which comes preconfigured for ZFS and filesharing; as far as I can tell, their CD/DVD images are also freely available: http://sourceforge.net/projects/freenas/files/FreeNAS-8.0.4/FreeNAS-8.0.4-RELEASE-p2-x64.iso/download ...but you can pay a publisher for a copy instead of downloading, if you prefer.
