<div>I'd just say go with what you know and just remove all extra packages that you don't need. Or if you don't know much than a specific distro like freenas as mentioned before is great as it is designed just for that.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>But another question was broght up:</div>
<div> </div>
<div>"Are you sharing with Windows? Linux? Old world UNIX? Commodore 64?"</div>
<div> </div>
