For FreeNAS, NAS4Free and pfSense.

Finch is FreeBSD running inside a chroot. Finch is best used as a way to extend the functionality of restricted USB-based FreeBSD distributions, usually FreeNAS and NAS4Free. For added convenience, Finch also includes the qjail jails management tool. Since FreeBSD jails are such a popular request.

Recommended system configuration:

# Restricted FreeBSD host <--> FreeBSD-in-a-chroot (a.k.a "Finch") <--> Qjail <--> jails

FreeNAS, NAS4Free, pfSense:

• To manage jails with qjail, hassle-free.
• To use pkg install ..., the official FreeBSD tool otherwise known as pkg-ng.
• To have a full, official FreeBSD system image, including ports tree and kernel sources.
• To have all the basics preconfigured for you, and a consistent shell environment.
