[clue] storage distros? (requesting advice)

[Shawn T Perry]

I recommend nas4free over freenas.  It's the continuation of freenas.  It's
very likely what I'll be running on my nas when I finally get time to build
it.

Also, I second David's recommendation if you need anything more than
storage on the box.
