What's a good recommendation for a ZFS appliance for home network storage?

I've got a basic AsRock MicroATX board with an AMD A6 CPU w/ 6 SATA ports. 2x 40 GB for the OS and 4x 1TB for storage.

I must say I don't like NexentaStor or antthing from them. I really want to do ZFS, but frankly, at this point it seems a bit of an annoying preference because the config is annoying at times.

Can anyone recommend a reasonably easy to setup ZFS OS or just talk me into something else? Honestly, just pointing me at an OS that's friendly. Not into the whole "Oh gotta do BSD or die" shit.

Just use FreeNAS.

The only word of advice is that you should use ECC memory, otherwise you run the risk of corrupting your entire pool.
