It currently hosts a web server that doesn't handle ANY traffic to speak of... in fact the only person who ever hits it outside the search engine crawlers is me. I am looking at changing over to Joomla or Drupal or some other simple CMS that will let me post more easily. It is not a Mail Server, but I do use it as a system I can bounce through or test things on. No real virtualization at this time, but I do want hardware virtualization support in case I decide to experiment.
