FreeNAS

FreeNAS - especially the latest version, 8 - gives you a whole lot of free goodness. However, I tripped on the foolproof LiveCD installation for a very simple oversight. If you're like me and trying FreeNAS on a Virtual Machine, and find your virtual FreeNAS boot process stuck at some weird point with no option to move ahead - make sure you're allocating enough memory.

The boot process does not tell you it needs more memory - just hangs. So allocate at least 560MB.
