I'd be inclined to go for SXCE rather than SXDE myself - mainly because there are good things around the corner (CIFS integration being the obvious one for a NAS) that you'll be able to try out sooner that way. > My hardware is supported under both platforms.

For a home NAS, I wouldn't worry much about maintenance taking a lot of time. It's up you whether you need a bleeding edge feature or not, but it's nice to have the option. My router is takes much less work than a server would, but only because Linksys are slackers when it comes to firmware updates; the kernel/firewall it's built with must be horribly outdated by now. -- Rasputnik :: Jack of All Trades - Master of Nuns http://number9.hellooperator.net/ _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
