With Guardian OS units the OS is on the HD's. The Guardian OS is built on Redhat Linux Enterprise, so what is to be gained. You still have cmd line function. The Guardian Os is very polished, and have a lot of user friendly features. Now the very old versions were very rough when compaired to v4 and now the latest v5 that was just released.

If you search you will find the thread on how to load FreeBSD if you want to use the FreeNAS software.

Save one HD so you can restore the Guardian OS.

You will need to disable the Watchdog in the BIOS or it will fail every time.
