TrueNAS vs Samba

[techlists at phpcoderusa.com]

Thanks Alexander,

Chat gave a laundry list.  Interesting.  You are light years ahead of 
me.  I just need a simple file share, mostly for backups. Once in a 
while I need to share a document with my wife.

Some SMB history.  In the old days I had a Linux box setup as LAMP.  In 
those days it was CentOS.  My desktop was Win something.  I connected 
the Win box to the Linux box so I could remote edit PHP and test using a 
browser. And I used the hosts files for DNS using non-routable domain 
names.

Now I can use Visual Studio Code to remoter edit.
