What Linux distro should I use to set up a home server?

Q. Does anyone have any knowledge on a distribution to use to set up a home server where multiple user accounts are stored and files are stored?

A. I use Fedora 8 64 bit edition. 347 days of up time so far. Can't say that for any Mac or Windows system. I like Kubuntu for a desktop more. Mostly because of the eye candy.

Which operating system is best for server and security centos or redhat or any other os available?
Q. We need a highly secured operating system.So which one is best redhat or fedora or centos?
And also which is bug free?

A. Probably RedHat (who also provided most of the money for the development of Fedora). Security is down to the system admins - if they aren't very good then neither will be your security. Bugs happen, nothing much you can do about them except know how to either fix them or get around them.

How to share folders between fedora and vista?
Q. Using SAMBA server, but when Vista tries to access folders, it does not work. Help?

A. I'm assuming you are talking between two different computers!

make sure you create a user with the same name of the person you are logged into the vista machine as, and make sure you set the password to the same password as the vista user (smbpasswd)

You can also edit the smb.conf file where you created the share to make the share public to anyone without a password (not secure, obviously) to get a starting point.
