It's a shame because I really like the point and click nature of DSM. Although I'm a happy Linux hacker I don't want another Linux box to suck up my limited admin time just to store files.
OpenMediaVault is really good for that. The only times I'm ever really in its command line is when I'm checking for certain files.
I can only speak for Unraid, but I would imagine admin time is basically nil for any dedicated NAS distro if all you want is to store files. <10 minutes from scratch to install and boot, create an array and enable a share.
