Why are you electing for this board if you're not running any graphical environment? And ZFS is memory hungry, the Atom is a i386-like chip, so you'd have too much overhead with ZFS. I think you've elected the wrong board for your purposes. Will FreeBSD run on it? yes. I have freebsd on another atom N-series ASUS box. --Tim
