I am thinking about building my own NAS Server at some point in the future. What are some of the general steps for setting up one after you have installed/connected all of the hardware? What are the options for a Server OS and how would you typically install the OS if your Server does not have a CD/DVD drive? My Server Hardware would most likely be something like the following: http://usa.chenbro.com/corporatesite/products_detail.php?sku=81 Thanks in Advance.
Hello, I would install freeNas its a special configred version of freebsd for nas boxes. you can install it using a usb pen if you wish to. btw freenas can run from a compact flash card. once installed you access it using a web GUI by typing the IP address in to your browser.
