How To Make A Dedicated File Server Or Web Server

[beezlebubsbum]

I just got my hands on a server with Windows Server 2003 and I am eager to wipe that rubbish and replace it with a great Linux replacement. I must admit that I have been out of the Linux loop for a while, mainly because I now use and iMac and I love mac osx, but I want the house to be Windows free. Can anyone recommend a server distro that I could use? I will redo a tutorial once I get a chance to play around with it and get it going. Thanks!

I use RHEL5 professionally and would say it's decent for a server distro. Since that's not free, I would say go with centOS.
