Hi Kevin, thanks for all the info. I have starred this email so that I can refer back to it easily. You have certainly given me some studying to do! I expect to enjoy it.Yes its easy Just look at http://www.linux.com/learn/tutorials/479960:the-six-best-linux-community-server-distributions and choose a server Distro I like Fedora personally but all are capable. Some things you need to set up are possibly Samba (http://www.howtoforge.com/fedora-17-samba-standalone-server-with-tdbsam-backend) Mail (http://flurdy.com/docs/postfix/) nice for Ubuntu Webserver (apache) (php)(http://www.linuxhomenetworking.com/wiki/index.php/Quick_HOWTO_:_Ch20_:_The_Apache_Web_Server#.UV8KJqr_PBU <http://www.linuxhomenetworking.com/wiki/index.php/Quick_HOWTO_:_Ch20_:_The_Apache_Web_Server#.UV8KJqr_PBU> ) MySql Databases (http://www.yolinux.com/TUTORIALS/LinuxTutorialMySQL.html) avoids common pitfalls and shows the use of the command line first before getting messed up in a GUI Ssh (use the commandline distro installer yum, apt-get etc.) Cups Printing (same as above then http://www.cups.org/documentation.php/overview.html) then play with Disks, adding more or set up RAID (need three similar disks) once the distro is installed and ssh is working on the Network you don't need a monitor!
