Ok, since this thread is the official spot for home based chatting, I am off work now.
Similar feeling from an enterprise perspective -- I am the last person at work that has not even once, logged on to FaceBook. [no need, I insist] And I can do a zFaceBook on 100% zCode anytime, only if I want to spend my open time on that. And security -- I cannot afford the time and efforts to do my own secure enterprise at home, so, sorry, the important personal stuff, probably just as Mr. Tucci, are all on company infrastructure. ;-) best, z at home ----- Original Message ----- From: "David Dyer-Bennet" <d...@dd-b.net> To: <zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org> Sent: Friday, January 09, 2009 12:58 PM Subject: Re: [zfs-discuss] ZFS + OpenSolaris for home NAS? > > On Thu, January 8, 2009 15:35, Tim wrote: >> On Wed, Jan 7, 2009 at 8:43 PM, JZ <j...@excelsioritsolutions.com> wrote: >>> >>> Can we focus on commercial usage? >>> please! > >> I dunno about you, but I need somewhere to store that music so I can >> stream >> it throughout the house while I'm drinking that wine ;) A single disk >> windows box isn't really my cup-o-tea.
