Hello to you all,
Here is a basic beginners guide for FreeNAS 9.10 written by a beginner.
It provides all the information you need in one place to create a very basic FreeNAS server.
As Fester acquires more knowledge he will try to add to this guide (time permitting).
The guide is in the form of a wiki. Here is the link.

Many thanks to reviewers
@Sakuru and
@DiViDeR for peer reviewing the document and their very helpful suggestions.
Many thanks also to
@danb35 for wikifying and greatly improving the original guide and for suggesting a wiki in the first place.
I must give a special thanks to
@cyberjock ,
@Ericloewe ,
@jgreco ,
@joeschmuck ,
@Glorious1 ,
@diedrichg ,
@depasseg ,
@anodos and
@qwertymodo (to name but a few). This guide is mostly based on the knowledge these people were kind enough to place on the FreeNAS Community Forum. In fact without the people mentioned previously there would be no Fester's guide.
The document was not peer reviewed by a FreeNAS expert as I would have wanted so there maybe some errors.
Now I'm off to FreeNAS the crap out of my server. Best of luck to you :D.
Thanks.
Uncle Fester.
(Note to the Admins: If the guide proves useful would you move it to the correct section. Thanks.)
