Shell server? Testing network/services from a remote host.. Temporary storage of files.. Running screen + irssi so I can connect and remain connected to irc.freenode.net (#jaxlug), SSH port forwarding.. Just to name a few.. I have several external shell sources that I use. It can be quite nice to have something on a public network thats not your home machine. Anyways... just a thought. About the BSD/jailed option, you can do something very similar with vserver/Linux. It's basically a jailed env without emulation, see http://linux-vserver.org/Welcome_to_Linux-VServer.org for more information. Anyways, just a thought.
