I installed OpenMediaVault late last night.
It is based off of Debian, which I am a long time user of.
My first impressions are that it is useful, albeit at a pretty basic level, and lacking in a enterprise/advanced level.

Cons:

My first impressions are that it is useful, albeit at a pretty basic level, and lacking in a enterprise/advanced level.
Pros:
- Debian based, which means that it has a strong user community and is regularly maintained.
- Easy to use web management interface. Mostly logical and was easy enough to figure out with out much effort.
- Installation is easy, has live media and installable iso images available.
- Built in iSCSI Target.
- Built in iTunes DAAP media server.
- Rsync support, I have several Synology RS and DS models that I use for backups.
Cons:
- Older Linux kernel, 2.6.32-5.
- No LDAP or Active Directory support.
- Illogical method in web management interface for setting security for shared resources such as FTP, CIFS.
- Small user base.
