Once I got through the fact that the initial install would not boot, FreeNAS became much more friendly (but I still have to use an ATA disk for the OS - I can't get FreeNAS to boot on my SATA drives). @James – you should search here for my series of articles of FreeNAS (which get thousands of pageviews/month).

Without sounding like a know it all geek, I find many things about open source to be intuitive and easy, compared to the licensing requirements of windows ;). I know that I have suffered greatly in order to have this understanding, so I wonder if you could help me to understand what you mean by unfriendly. My curiosity helps me to understand the needs of people that want to use a tool like FreeNAS. With the right setup, this tool is just like Mac's time capsule - which is really cool. I am developing solutions with these tools, and your perspective would be insightful for me. I am curious about what makes FreeNAS unfriendly.
