FreeNAS es un sistema operativo basado en FreeBSD pero orientado a servicios de almacenamiento en red. NAS corresponde a las siglas de ”almacenamiento conectado en red”.

FreeNAS y su fork Nas4Free son gratuitos, Nas4Free es open-source basado en licencia BSD. Estos sistemas operativos permiten crear un servidor doméstico muy potente con multitud de opciones de configuración como por ejemplo administración de decenas de usuarios con los permisos adecuados, crear unidades RAID para hacer copias de seguridad redundantes o aumentar el rendimiento del sistema.

BSD vs Linux

I run FreeBSD on my computers. A lot of my friends run Linux, or at least one of the distributions of it. Naturally, then, we agree that a Unix-style operating system is the right choice, but we disagree on which to use.

It’s been my impression that the BSD communit{y,ies}, in general, understand Linux far better than the Linux communit{y,ies} understand BSD. I have a few theories on why that is, but that’s not really relevant. I think a lot of Linux people get turned off BSD because they don’t really understand how and why it’s put together. Thus, this rant; as a BSD person, I want to try to explain how BSD works in a way that Linux people can absorb.

While there’s overwhelming similarity between the operating systems in most cases, there are also a lot of differences. As you probe more into the differences, you find that they emerge from deep-seated disagreements. Some are disagreements over development methodology, some over deployment and usage, some about what’s important, some about who’s important, and some about which flavor of ice cream is superior. Just comparing the surface differences doesn’t tell you anything; it’s the deeper differences that both explain and justify why each group does things the way they do.
