5 open source OS options for your self-built NAS
Break free from the constraints of prebuilt NAS devices.

Network-attached storage (NAS) devices can do almost anything a home server can, just on smaller, more power-efficient hardware. Generally, they come with pre-built operating systems, but some models let you install your own. If you're building your own NAS, you'll need an operating system. What's more, there are plenty of options that are open source, which is always welcome to see.
