Linux would surely make your life easier. In the past I would have some shell
scripts to setup my directory structure with the proper permissions, and another
shell script to archive my files.
As I mentioned in another post, now I use python to do the above and more.
Actually I built a web interface with python to manage my system and render
jobs.
On linux you can pretty much do these tasks with shell scripts or perl/python.
Heck if you wanted to you can write a program in C/C++ on win/linux do manage
your system although it may be overkill.
Sharing a linux partition over NFS or even Samaba is pretty trivial. Perhaps you
might look into getting a linux file server first before migrating the clients
onto linux. I know of quite a few boutiques that have win32 clients with linux
file servers.
It should not take you long to get up to speed with linux. There are a ton of
books and online resources to help you along the way.
Good luck!
