Linux file server, help

[anotherF]

Hi i need to set up a linux file server, on a windows network. Boss to tight to buy any more licences.

What would be the best version of linux to do this? Is there any software to make this task easier? Any other advice?

Oh and if any one has any guides or tutorials on this, i would be glad of a link.

Cheers!

I have a used Ubuntu on the desktop before and was actuall very impressed, i might give the server version a try for this project. I will take a look at the provided links.

Thanks
