project that's coming up that has me installing a Linux server just as a
file server. I'm sure that just about any distribution will work for
that, but I'd like to find one that works where it says it works. My
former boss downloaded and tested out Fedora Core 5 when it first came
out and it was buggy as all get out. It took all kinds of technical
gymnastics for him to get it to join the domain and even then it didn't
halfway work. His main sticking point was why even have a GUI for
something if it won't work? (and, yes, he did know what he was
doing...the guy is a geek of nature)

I would not suggested FC5 or any fancy GUI intensive distros for
production server.  I use CentOS without any X GUI as I'm one with the
RedHat family; obviously the black sheep of the family ;-)  But I'd
also suggest Debian or Gentoo.
