It runs ordinary amd64 FreeBSD 9.1, installed from a thumb drive. It provides DNS, DHCP, and some other random services on my home network. It's also my backup server, running a four drive ZFS raid with an ESATA controller, so I bumped the RAM up to 4GB. My only complaint is that the PCI slot doesn't have a matching cutout on the back panel for for the ESATA adapter I have to use a riser card and leave the cover off, which looks stupid but looks fine. It's just like any other FreeBSD box do I don't see why it wouldn't run jails perfecty well.
