How to Add Network-attached Storage
,----[ Quote ]
| NAS involves more than just attaching a hard drive to a network: NAS devices
| are really mini file servers. Running an embedded operating system (usually
| some form of Linux), they give you full control over users and permissions.
| Most offer additional services as well: some support FTP, virtually all work
| with both Windows machines and Macs, and many can function as iTunes and
| media servers, too.

Interview: FreeNAS for No-Cost Network Attached Storage
,----[ Quote ]
| Few recent trends in storage have had as much momentum as Network Attached
| Storage (NAS). A NAS device can make a network more efficient and secure by
| supplying file-based data storage services to networked devices, or it can be
| used for applications such as streaming media. FreeNAS is free, lightweight,
| open source network-attached storage server software, based on FreeBSD.

Fast five-drive NAS box fills more storage gaps
,----[ Quote ]
| Last up, one pat on the back to Thecus. All of their devices run Linux,
| and Thecus is being a very good corporate citizens about their use of
| GPL'd code. Normally, you only hear about people violating the GPL or
| have to search their site for a buried link to the source.
|
| With Thecus, the opposite is true. They put the code on their main
| page, usually right next to the firmware updates themselves. I actually
| saw the code before I realized what it was, quite an unusual situation.
| It was a case of me scratching my head wondering what the .GPL extension
| was before it dawned on me. Again well done.
