It really depends on the server specs and whether you want to stream content. Windows Vista with Media Center is actually a pretty good choice for streaming all the content, but you could go the other route and use Ubuntu with samba file sharing (what I'm doing).

These are the topics I need to start writing about.

Txs, currently I am looking to use Windows Server 2003 or Windows Home Server, it would be indeed to utilize to stream media. I do not have any experience with Ubuntu or samba.
