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...
