I'm not a newbie, but I'm not a networking person either.
I'm trying to create a file server for my Windows pc. I thought it would be a relatively simple task. Boy, was I wrong! I've tried 3 different distros and each one gave me a different set of problems I couldn't figure out/fix on my own, even after spending hours searching and reading on Google.

Is there a distro that is best/easiest for setting up a file server? Currently, I have easilix installed, but I've run into a problem there (see my previous post) and I can't get a response from their support to save my life.

Is there a good detailed doc/how-to somewhere explaining how to set one up? I've tried several, but eventually I would get to some problem that wasn't covered for which I wasn't able to find a solution anywhere.



Thanks!
