I wanted to reduce the amount of constantly running computers. I still want a desktop/media center, I wanted to combine that with [ZFS] file server. I'll probably end up running FreeNAS + a desktop. The reason I don't want a FreeBSD or Illumos-based OS as a media center is because of no Netflix streaming support, and Flash performance is poor too.
