I'm finally getting another computer up and running. I will be converting my currently used computer in to a server of sorts. Well, it's going to be more of a file server than anything. I plan to use it for storing my music, photos, and videos on my network.

N-E-Way, I was thinking of running XP pro and using remote desktop to manage it. But what I needed to know is whether there were better options for OS or management. I don't have a KVM switch, nor do I plan on getting one. BTW, I plan on running Vista on the computer I will be using daily.
