Have a look at these two resources:

Thank you.. . Will check Links.
.. but the Links contain the Word "Freenas" and not TRUENas?

TrueNAS used to be known as FreeNAS. Their are a lot of references that still use FreeNAS.

iXSystems consolidated the naming:
- TrueNAS - the Enterprise paid version
- TrueNAS Core - free version, (used to be FreeNAS)
- TrueNAS SCALE - based on Linux and containers, with some clustering, free version

That's just a brief overview.
