Nice NAS with the ARTiGO A2000

Electronic design have published a detailed article about two different NAS solutions, one of them being the VIA ARTiGO A2000. The A2000 comes as a barebone system, designed to be compact and not comsume much power. This Lab Bench Online article gives details about how to set up the A2000 with FreeNAS using an image file handily distributed with their supplier of the A2000, Logic Supply.
"Things got more interesting once the WinSystems CompactFlash card arrived. Adding it was easy but first I loaded it with FreeNAS. This is a free, open source, FreeBSD-based NAS server platform complete with an extensive web-based interface. It can run a host of file services from Samba (for Windows support) to NFS to SSH. The UPNP support can work with DLNA clients. It has SMART drive support as well as firewall support. Check out the website for all of the features and screen shots of the interface."
