I'd second the question about FreeBSD that was asked earlier. My
personal cell runs vicep* on ZFS, 4 zmirrored 2TB SATA drives on an old
Dell 2950 with 8G RAM. I also iSCSI share a few devices (around a TB,
mail spool, backup spool, and scratch partition) from it. I'm very
happy. Rock solid; as good as Solaris on X86 but Larry does not even
get credit. Performance-wise, perhaps not super hot, but enough.

The only important part is that you MUST NOT have a 32-bit kernel. Now,
today, that probably is the default.
