First of many to come (FreeNas 8 is out)

It is now 3:29AM so i will keep this one short. For those f you that don't know what FreeNAS is:
FreeNAS™ is an Open Source Storage Platform based on FreeBSD and supports sharing across Windows, Apple, and UNIX-like systems.

OR in short
Home built NAS.

What is a NAS. NAS is file-level computer data storage connected to a computer network providing data access to heterogeneous clients. They systems are networked appliances which contain one or more hard drives, often arranged into logical, redundant storage containers or RAID arrays. Network-attached storage removes the responsibility of file serving from other servers on the network.
"don't you just love Wikipedia :) "

again in short
Very cool, home built network accessible drive

so over the next few days i will do a write-up on this to help anyone looking to do something like this, but i am really doing it because i have really bad memory... :)
