Will freenas continue to have bsd kernel version

I saw the notes that said FreeNAS would be going to the Linux kernel based on Debian, but I'm unable to find on there website or via duckduckgo.com any evidence suggesting that the BSD kernel version of it is null/void.

If anyone can cite sources about the future of BSD freenas, I would appreciate information.
 
There was talk of FreeNAS moving to a Debian base, but that was a year or two ago. The iXsystems company began sponsoring development of FreeNAS and kept the project on a FreeBSD base. There were a number of articles and interviews on the transition at the time.

I think a fork of FreeNAS may have appeared which did use the Debian base, but I don't think it has gained much ground. For now it looks as though FreeNAS is staying on the FreeBSD base indefinitely.
 
Questions like these should be asked on the FreeNAS forums. FreeNAS isn't developed, maintained or supported by the FreeBSD teams. We therefor have no idea what the future direction of FreeNAS is going to be.

Debian based NAS was initiated by previous developer of original FreeNAS and it's here: http://www.openmediavault.org/

FreeNAS name was copyrighted by iXsystem and NAS have been rewritten from scratch. It is FreeBSD based but it's IMHO kinda heavy and oriented on powerful modern hardware.

Since original name of FreeNAS was trademarked by iXsystem, project change its name to NAS4free and continue actively its life right now here: http://www.nas4free.org/
