If you ever get the urge to play around with FreeNAS again, they really improved linux emulation and virtualization; I've been pleasantly surprised with how much I can get done with bhyve.

That's only if you feel like tinkering, though; Ubuntu's a great choice as well.

I run opensuse on my home "NAS".I get so much more with a full Linux install and it's still headless and let power.

I just use an old desktop with a pretty efficient CPU.
