RHEL to FreeBSD file server

[Chuck Burns]

TBH, I've never gotten my hands on anything close to that much power, 
but I can tell you, from my experience with FreeBSD's NFS implementation 
on much lower-powered hardware, it uses less CPU on a system that ran 
debian stable for a bit.  Said system is not powerful enough for ZFS, 
mind you..  However, I do have another FreeBSD system that is more of a 
desktop system.  I have only 3x750G wd blue sata drives in it, in a 
raidz, and I've not had any io-related issues on it.  Admittedly, my 
experiences are more "hobbyist" than enterprise, and although I do try 
to keep abreast of all this info, I'm so not sure how much that info 
helps..  I do, however, have the understanding that most of the 
performance issues have had to do with certain controllers simply not 
being configured correctly, or have the "right" firmware

On a slightly unrelated note, "pics?" I would love to drool over this 
setup. :)
