My main requirement was simple: the NAS must be no-touch.

I'm perfectly happy fiddling till 3am with every other system I have,
but not that one :-)

I needed something that family could use too with all reasonable
share types active (the family can pick how they want to connect), and
that must stay the same for long periods. I figured the only way to get
that was to rig it so I couldn't fiddle too much. FreeBSD is familiar
territory so FreeNAS was the logical choice.
