Operating systems
You should run Debian, RHEL or CentOS if you want Linux, or any *BSD that you like.
Ubuntu usually does retarded things with their packages and versions (lib*-ubuntu1.l2), and pulls unstable software from Debian Sid.
Rolling release distros (Arch, Fedora) are not really good for a server, because it's supposed to stay working, and it shouldn't break/change it's behavior on updates.
Gentoo is usually too much trouble to be worth it, but it's ok.

Set it up with NFS (linux-centric, can be used on windows but it's shit) or samba, so you can watch your chinese cartoons on any device and keep your documents/whatever synchronized.
