  1. More features, easier installation/configuration on A Look at FreeNAS Server · · Score: 1

    Suriyan has an installation and configuration procedure that is extremely simple - the only question normally asked during install is which disk to use. The partitioning takes place behind the scenes, as does all of the rest of the configuration.

    There is a web-based UI that relies heavily on moin. There is support for establishing groups with mailing lists, their own wiki and samba share. Users can create user accounts, which gives them local mail addresses, their own wiki page, samba share, and webpage. File ownership and permissions were considered.

    Backing up the system and restoring from a backup are very easy to do. There is a web based updating system that utilizes apt. Postgres database is on board. Many other services (jabber, moodle, request-tracker) are being developed and implemented with similarly easy configurations. There is support for adding ISV applications in a very straightforward manner.

    Any thoughts? Feedback appreciated :)
