Also is it still best to go down the FreeNAS route?
No.
Of-course, if you ask in a FreeBSD mailing list and not a Linux mailing list you might get a different answer.
FreeNAS is based on FreeBSD and not Linux, but you know that already.

Thanks to all for the replies.
HP ProLiant G7 N54L 2.2GHz MicroServer
I have bought the above machine and is fitted with 2gb of memory. The USB stick I am using is a verbatim and is 8gb in size. Everytime I try to use it using unetbootin the programme says there isn't a flash drive in the computer. Does this mean I haven't got a flash drive please?
I think hearing all the comments it seems to me that I might be better off with a Debian install and then get it to do what I want it to do. I know Linux and I might be better off with something I know.
My understanding of a bootable USB flash drive was that you could use this to mount the OS and run it from flash USB. However, I am happy to install to the 250gb hard drive and boot of this. I have a 1tb disk arriving tomorrow.
I like the look of FreeNAS but I can do the same with Debian and retain the control. However, one thing that drew me was the zfs. However, I am equally happy forgetting raid and attaching a nas and backing up to that.
Thanks once again for all the help. I do love Gordon's "no" reply. Would you care to add more details please?
Thanks
Rich
