I've been thinking about setting up a personal file server and I'm debating which OS to go with, Red Hat, or Novell Netware.

I want to stay away from Microsoft as all of their server operating systems are super expensive.

So, I would like your opinion, which is better for a file server, Red Hat, or Netware?

BTW. I am currently looking at some used Compaq Proliant servers. And thus have pretty much decided that a Compaq Proliant will be what I will use.
