Debian vs FreeNAS: What are the differences?
Developers describe Debian as "The Universal Operating System". Debian systems currently use the Linux kernel or the FreeBSD kernel. Linux is a piece of software started by Linus Torvalds and supported by thousands of programmers worldwide. FreeBSD is an operating system including a kernel and other software. On the other hand, FreeNAS is detailed as "An operating system that can be installed on virtually any hardware platform". It is the simplest way to create a centralized and easily accessible place for your data. Use it with ZFS to protect, store, backup, all of your data. It is used everywhere, for the home, small business, and the enterprise.
Debian and FreeNAS can be categorized as "Operating Systems" tools.
