  "An Overview on FreeNAS 8
   The release of FreeNAS 8 includes major architectural optimizations,
   a django-driven user interface, and ZFS - lending us some useful
   features like thin provisioning, periodic snapshots, LDAP and Active
   Directory authorization along with the most popular platform sharing
   protocols.



   FreeNAS 8 retains enterprise-class services while eliminating some
   "Home User" functionality such as iTunes/DAAP, Bit Torrent, and UPnP.
   These features will make it back as third-party plugins at a later
   date."

   added as the new base stabilized."
