| From: right.maple.nut via talk <talk@gtalug.org> | Hello All, Like the Subject Line says, I'm setting up a ZFS File Server | for my Home Network. Given that I will have to go to the trouble of | setting up the Distro and Migrating the Linux Install to ZFS Root, I | don't want to have to do this too many times. So, which Distro are the | favourite for Running ZFS-on-Linux? Also, is there such a thing as a | Linux Distro that is smart enough to give you a choice if you are | willing to use non-GPL'ed code in the Installer, so that I can just | Install Directly on a ZFS Pool? Thank You in Advance for your Input. | Regards, Amos Why not run a *BSD? Or something Solaris-related? Open Indiana???? - They more naturally run ZFS. - there is no clash-of-licenses drama. - the code is probably more tested. - there are even out of the box fileserver distros based on *BSD. - TrueOS, FreeNAS? Is there something that you don't like about UNIX (as opposed to Linux) for a file server?
