NAS for my home network

What I found out this weekend:

1. Cryptobox - Really Nice web interface - maybe enough for the average flat sharing community. Possibility to encrypt partitions which need to be opened before use.

2. FreeNAS - Successor of the M0n0wall which I used for years as my router at home running on a Netvista 2800 . Clearly it is not a router but a storage appliance. It has some nice features. However it has not reached v1.x and there were some nasty rumours. So, to be honest I am a little bit afraid of putting my valuable data on it.

3. NasLite - SUCKS - who would administrate a (v1) Web Appliance by using TELNET ??! v.2 is $ware

4. OpenFiler - IMHO the most advanced NAS software I found. RSYNC FTP WEBDAV HTTP NFS SMB iSCSI are only a few features :-)
