Guys,
My father is fighting trying to get a small server setup at home.  I
was looking for a simple to setup and use Linux distribution that I could
use to introduce him to Linux but not have to go through the process of
using a full-blown distribution (i.e. Debian, RedHat, etc).   I
originally thought of Damn Small Linux (http://www.damnsmalllinux.org/),
but they don't have Samba modules.  
Does someone know of a simple file-server distribution that has Samba,
Webmin, VsFTPd, and SSHd but doesn't try to offer up web
server/firewall/printserver/X11/etc?
Has anyone used "NASLite"?  For $25, their NASLite-Plus
looks like a nice tool to have for just this sort of thing.
Dan
