   I've been running in on a bunch of old thinkpads (as any gentooman   
   should be :p), both as my PCs and as my home servers. It really did   
   have good hardware compatibility, across a decade or more of devices.   
   I'm fairly confident that I could throw it at any plain, boring PC and   
   have it just work(tm).   
      
   There are 2 pretty big exceptions: Obviously, a good chunk of computers   
   require non-free drivers for their wireless chips. Thankfully, so long   
   as you have ethernet during install, fw_update(8) will grab and install   
   everything. Similarly, most graphics cards require proprietary   
   drivers. Reportedly, Novidia cards have trash support, though I think AMD   
   is a little better.   
      
   As for running a mail server: Is it hard to get other providers   
   (hotmail, gmail, etc) to accept your mail? I've heard that it can be a   
   big problem, if you're self hosting anyways.
