Re: Which version for file/ftp server
Mandrake 10.2 will do the job be sure to install Samba and if you want an ftp server take ProFTPd.. easy installation. There's a lot of documentation around on the web, i've learned pretty much anything i know about linux/bsd by the docs and manual.
Good luck. |

Re: Which version for file/ftp server
a) Yes. The keyword here is "Samba".
b) I always recommend Fedora Core (previous RedHat) for beginners. I liked it as a first attempt at Linux.  It's easy to install and shouldn't be to hard to set up (there's tons of help on the web, just like for Mandrake).http://fedora.redhat.com/ |
