We found the FreeNAS software worked fine with the A2000 and supports software managed RAID arrays
For a free utility, FreeNAS really does offer an impressive range of features
Multimedia services in FreeNAS include the Firefly iTunes server
WHS worked just as well with the A2000 and delivered a better overall performance than FreeNAS
For Windows operating systems you have VIA's System Management utility although we found its power controls failed to work

Windows home server IS Windows Server 2003 with more running on top of it, so this box should run it in a very similar fashion.

For the money there are other options with dual core atoms and 5 bay hot swap caddies for only £50 more, able to run whatever OS you want.

I'll stick with my dockable eSATA Sharkoon HDD unit thanks - cheap and it does what it supposed to without costing nearly 10* as much!
