I have been using Ubuntu desktop for a little while now, Feisty at the moment and feel comfortable enough although lots still to learn. I would like to setup Ubuntu Server at home for my family, holding music, films, documentation, contact/address book etc connecting by thin client or a better way if someone suggests it, maybe booting from ubuntu cd, unlike myself they use windows pc's.
Edubuntu appears to be just what I am looking for except I would like to keep the server as minimalist as possible. I am also slightly concerned that the server would be on 24x7 so security is something to think about.
Appreciate any comments, suggestions or advice to point me in the right direction.
