Note: I have not used FreeNAS, just going by what I've read about it, mostly in that thread.
Considering a normal install of FreeBSD fits into 512 MB of disk space, and that it's virtually impossible to buy a CompactFlash or USB stick that's less than 2 GB, why switch from using custom, hacked-together scripts for installing FreeBSD to a completely different OS and re-do everything from scratch? Why not just switch to a standard FreeBSD install? Use the pkg_* tools? And just wrap a web GUI around it?
