Where DNS != DNS

That was CONFUSING

I knew exactly what @scottalanmiller issue was when I read his post.. I updated my post for clarity.

Looping back to this, in the past month I've worked with three different companies that all experienced significant data loss or downtime because of their choice of FreeNAS. Two suffered from not having front loaded their engineering and had an inability to support their servers during routine operations and caused major outages because of it along with significant cost for repairs, and one company that lost its data because of unnecessary bugs in the FreeNAS GUI code that would have been avoided has they been simply on FreeBSD.

Additionally this past week FreeNAS 10 "Coral" was demonstrated to be so incredibly unstable a month after being released that they had to recall the release and revert to a "beta" status indefinitely. For a trivial end user application this would be bad, for a critical storage infrastructure component on which companies need to have rock solid faith, it's unthinkable.

Wow what a thread, took me a while to read through it 🙂

We don't fool around around here!

Those little Atom processors that they tend to use (I miss the Sparc32 days, it was just more interesting) use very little electrical power and produce very little heat and tend to last for forever. Pretty much unbeatable.

I thought that screen looked familiar, lol.

It looks like it is trying to connect but it gives me two choices for a SSL cert when I do... then it give me an error. I will have to look into a bit more when I have time.
