I have NetBSD on via epia pd6000e as firewall and me6000g as server. 
These seem reliable.

I tried with a couple of Jetway J7F4K1G2 but had freezes or lockups 
under any load (cpu, nework or hdd) then with replacements that were 
supposed to have fixed overheating problem first one of these decided 
the 250GB hdd was only 136GB with different geometry and trashed the 
drive. This was also a load or temperature problem as on cooling both 
drives I tried would revert to 250GB but retain wrong geometry then 
if reset to LBA after a while lockup and bios show them as 136GB 
(LBA48 switchover point). The replacements also failed booting from 
usb due to having a more recent bios with known usb problem. Jetway 
customer service recommendation was to boot from usb to update the 
bios but I chose return to supplier for refund.
