Curious if anyone here has tried Openfiler, and what your experiences were with it? - thanks matti<br>
( looks like you can setup a SAN with it.. )<br>

Openfiler is an operating system that provides file-based network-attached storage and block-based storage area network. It was created by Xinit Systems, and is based on the rPath Linux distribution. It is free software licensed under the GNU General Public License version 2. Its software stack interfaces with open source third-party software.<br>

They are good, cheap servers for classroom applications (yearbook, media & design, stage craft, drafting & architecture, etc) and can run on just about anything. I haven't been disappointed yet.</div>
