Very much so.

All you need is a 386SX (or better) with a minimum of 4MB RAM and at
least 60MB of disk space to get a very complete version of Unix. As
it's BSD-based, it's very standard and an excellent platform for
things like learning about TCP/IP, how to program under Unix, setting
up a network, running an Internet server or learning about
administering a Unix system.

Walnut Creek's FTP site, which is one of the busiest in the world,
runs on a Pentium with FreeBSD.

Have a look at http://www.freebsd.org/ for more info.

Cheers
