Assuming that the Xeon processors are the newer 64bit capable versions
(I really wish they would give the new Xeons a new name to differentiate
them from the older ones), you could be able to run the AMD64 version
of FreeBSD which has been tested up to 8GB, but should be able to
support multiple terabytes.
