I would also suggest NexentaStor Community edition, It is a hybrid OS using a Solaris 11 kernel and linux userland i beleive so it gets the latest ZFS versions which arent available in *BSD yet. I switched to this about 15 months ago after a couple months on FreeNAS7 mainly for the newer ZFS version. At that time FN7 didnt have snapshots or dedup although FN8 has snapshots now.
I realised dedup wasnt useful for most of the stuff i was storing and was probably affecting performance so I ended up creating a couple pools one for my media (music, video, pictures, graphic design/ photography workflow spaces, some documents) and another for development stuff like source code. this also made it easier to set different snapshot schedules for the entire drives.
Im also taking a look at btrfs as an alternative to ZFS since ideally i would prefer a debian/ubuntu based OS

you must be one of those midless apple drones... all the same.. all making the same joke in the same thread like all the other mindless drones before you.

note: this is not personal. it just seems everyone is jealous of the playbook and trying to keep it down. of course RIM's pathetic marketing doesnt help either.

Did you people read the same article i did????
  • The author is not the one who received the customer service email.
  • The author was able to play the videos for approximately the last year or so.
  • The author is still able to play the same videos on an Android device with and OLDER version of flash player.

Hence there is no technical reason why the videos shouldnt work on the Playbook. Also you cannot assume the CSR meant Adobe instead of Apple with any certainty unless you are Mr Mantri himself. The CS email is a buch of garbage that makes no sense. But Amazon has already gone back on their promise of a kindle app so im not too surprised.

A cautionary note for people hoping to build these devices themselves – I don’t believe it’s feasible to assemble it manually, and the PoP memory configuration we use is beyond the reach even of some professional assembly houses. - Eben

Almonds contain Cyanide???!!!
I love almond flesh
When i was younger i used to eat soo many from any almond tree i can find and never got sick. For any fruit we saw on a tree we just figured if the birds eat it then its safe. Oh well what doesnt kill you, makes you stronger.
Off to wikipedia since i can't just beleive everything I read.
