A multipart series on YouTube about installing FreeNAS
In part 1, the guy (who is possibly Dracula, with his very Transylvanian accent..) builds his new file server and shows off the hardware
In part 2, he shows how to install and configure FreeNAS, uses IPMI, sets up his pools
He pronounces gigabytes as jiggabytes and it's hilarious
We've also got an unrelated blog post about a very satisfied FreeNAS user who details his setup
As well as another blog post from our old pal Devin Teske about his recent foray into the FreeNAS development world ***
