I recently build my first PC - and now I'd like to turn my old PC into a File server or NAS server. I have pretty basic needs - mainly for storage and to learn networking beyond basic Wireless internet / router.

I'm looking for some resources where I can learn the nuts and bolts of what I need to know to get a basic server up and running. Also learning options / operating systems / capabilities / etc. Sine I don't want to spend extra money on my system beyond an extra HDD - I'm thinking Linux would be a good O/S ( I have zero experience with Linux at the moment )

Can anybody give me some good book titles / or web sources where I can get started?

Thanks
