Yes, this machine does one heck of a lot.  It was running windows
around 18 months ago, when most of our other machines had already been
converted to linux, so I used it for test-driving FreeBSD. Since then
it's a web server, email server, has tons of useful software (the
newest being vigor) thanks to the ports collection...

Yup. It was totally wasted in its windows days.
