MTB Newb: What can I do with this bike?

Hi all,

Forgive the newbness. I picked up this Jamis Dakar as a close-out way back in 2004 with the intention of getting into mountain biking and just never made it to the trails. Life intervened and just got too busy to ride. This became my commuter for a while but now I work from home. There are a few trails near my house and I'm just thinking it's a shame that I have this bike that's rarely seen the trails.

Question is, I read the forums and see how much has changed. Different bikes for different types of terrain. It used to be just "mountain bike." Now theres DH, XC, etc. I have no clue what half the acronyms mean. So can anyone tell me what this bike is good for? Is it even a decent bike? Like I said, I'm clueless on this stuff.
