Well, I booted it and it is FreeNAS. I got it on a USB stick tho. Well, I put the installer on one stick and then installed on a second stick. Kinda odd but I get it. I also noticed it is BSD based. I played with BSD once before. One thing I can say, it's secure. Big time. I see it uses ZFS or something. No mention of LVM. I figured that. Oh well. If I can't hammer FreeNAS into shape, I'll try TrueNAS next. If it works, that's fine too. ;-) Thanks. Dale :-) :-) P. S. When I first booted, I didn't have the ethernet plugged in. It wasn't happy about that. Given it is NAS software, I should have known better. ROFL
