As one of the, IIRC, top 5 forum posters there, I’d have to disagree. But we do expect users to do their homework.
Some do, some don’t.
Ah yes, the NAS formerly known as FreeNAS.
How does FreeNAS try to be a gateway? Or a do-it-all type of thing? It’s a NAS. It exposes jails (and now VMs) to the user, so the user can add tons of other stuff (just as they can with NAS4Free).
I’ve seen a thread or two about that; it’s far from clear that it’s a FreeNAS issue vs. a FreeBSD issue.
