Hi guys im planning to move over my old single core pentium 4 3ghz components inside a new case that houses multiple hdd's and running it as a server 24/7 with the following apps/purposes:

SAB nzb server
Tomcat server
File sharing server
Music streaming
Backup functionality.

I was wondering what's the best and easiest OS that can do all of the above. I don't mind a linux distro, in fact im leaning towards a linux OS as i want to learn it but wondering if maybe there is a linux OS that offers both ease of use setting up and also ability to tweak stuff even further.

I also want to access some of the above apps/services remotely via website link and even putty for any low level access.

cheers in advance
 
quality thanks. Does apache web server have a servlett engine? i always thought i had to use tomcat instead of the normal apache web server.

Also, does Ubuntu server have a UI? or is it all command line access via ssh/putty?
 
sweet! thanks. another question. does the OS need to be run on a hdd that is formated using EXE2? what about any seperate hdd's? i have a bunch of ntfs hdd's i want to simply add to my ubunto server without reformating? is it possible? can ubunto server read/write and detect these ntfs hdd's?
