When I went to FOSDEM last (or before) I spoke with a couple of devs who
used ZFS regularly, and they said how straightforward it was to set up. In
fact, I've done it under BSD with FreeNAS once, but I didn't like the BSD
setup. I've done it once with Gentoo .. but not permanently .. its on a box
I am running .. but not actively using. So I should get that fixed up onto
my Xeon box or something. It has plenty of Ooomph.

Zugaina is brilliant .. I spoke to its author once about getting it some
more recognition.
