[Klug-general] Samba....

[nic dan]

Try Slampp....its a liveCD server OS with Samba built-in, and is really easy to use/administer,...... even by windows users

.....else a linux of your choice plus apache tomcat, or http fileserver, maybe....?

http://httpfileserver.sourceforge.net/

You didn't specify hardware, so I didn't suggest a virtual server setup.....but

if considering large drives see also

WINS is 'old tech' [in relation to DNS,] using netbios
