If you have no specific requirements for the OS that will control the NAS
I would just perform a small Debian installation with no GUI or lite DE
and configure to act as a NAS server or whatever you need because this
will be the more flexible solution.
If you still prefer a pre-made NAS based OS (that handles RAID, et al)
you can consider another alternatives to FreeNAS such as OpenMediaVault,
Openfiler, Zentyal, Nexenta...
Related docs/faqs/how tos can be found on their sites :-)
