What are you specifically looking for? FWIW, I'm using a FreeBSD system right now for email (pine and TWIG), ssh, web browsing, file management, MP3 playing, AppleTalk file serving, web serving, and maybe a few other things that I've forgotten. I've got another system (a mere 486sx!) that's active as a server for a handful of friends and has ssh, telnet, ftp, web serving, email (via pine and the webmail system TWIG), an IRC client, and a BBS (via apache, mod_perl, and WWWThreads). To my knowledge, the Zip drive won't work in FreeBSD unless its SCSI (or, maybe, IDE).
