Why the fuck should I be paying Unraid license to use ZFS with command line when I can have the same experience in any other distro for free?
What is wrong with Ubuntu?
The only storage-oriented linux distro that has ZFS in plugins and is also turnkey enough is OpenMediaVault, but it's kind of meh in my experience. I consistently manage to break something within a few days after installing, by just installing some plugin or the other for stuff I needed, and I have to go in with commandline to fix it.
Another thing I'm readying my body for is the migration of the FreeNAS's main application (the web interface and core functionality that makes it a turnkey storage appliance) to Debian, which is what iXsystems said they are doing at the moment. Because that's the main selling point of FreeNAS. Being turnkey. ZFS is the same everywhere, especially now that they merged their codebase with ZoL.
