Re: media server recommendation

would definatley agree with arkay, it sounds like you want a NAS device of somekind? due want to RIP the DVD's directly from the media server, or will you do this via another machine and store it on the server? if the later is the option you can use FreeNAS (great product) has a tiny footprint.

OpenBSD/FreeBSD with Webmin is a good option, webmin has a lot of plugin modules.

Windows Server would be overkill.
