Alright I've done some searching but I haven't particularly found what I'm looking for a guide or something that can show me how to accomplish what I'm looking to do. I want to make a file-server for my dorm-mates and I. At first I want it to just be a simple file server to store files for all of us and then i will expand on it at a later date to add functionality. The computers we will be using will be windows based and the server will be ubuntu. Any resources would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Ryan
