    UTM Options / (Server OS options included)

    I don't want to want to high jack my own thread, but if I could run 2 boxes would Microsoft come back into play? ClearOS is very impressive and most comparable to Zentyal 2.0 running on Ubuntu IMO. If I'm going the route of a server OS though, I need to understand how it compares with...

    UTM Options / (Server OS options included)

    Hi marley1, I really like untangle as a UTM solution. I wish the management interface could be configured to show only what I want to see. I couldn't see an option to change its look. Maybe that is a feature beyond the free version. Even with the free version, I am very curious about the $10...

Rather than confusing myself further along with the scenario I'm...

    Storage Server Options

    Thank you for the replies. I tried to find a cheap 8 Sata port card that I could purchase 3 of, and did not find any. Lot's of Sata cards available out of the US, but not from Canadian retailers I like to use. How would Raid 6 performance compare to say Raidz under ZFS? I have 2 ubuntu...

    Storage Server Options

    Hello, I currently run an unRAID, 12TB usable NAS in an external 8 bay enclosure attached to one of my servers via a port multiplier card. To say the least, performance is slow. A lot is most likely due to the cheap card that attaches the enclosure. The rest is mostly as a result of how...
