Go with RedHat 5.1 and when you do the Install you can install samba. Samba is
what you want. Don't install anything you aren't really going to use during the
course of the setup. Once done read the documentation on samba. It's really not
so complicated. I have a Linux box at home that a win95 machine connects to so
I save all my data files in one place (on the Linux box).
Redhat is really easy to setup and will prompt you during setup to setup your
LAN config and everything.
