storage system

I ordered parts for a PC Monday. I am planning on building a storage PC. I am debating about what to install for Operating System (choosing a linux) but my biggest question is what would be best to use for this.

- Only accessible from one PC.
- Non-internet routed.
- Will have firewall, AV and spyware setup to run checks on drives daily.
- No Fault Tolerance (don't have the money)
- Drives will be monitored on all specs.
- No direct connection besides RJ-45 (Ethernet)
- Accessed, controlled and worked on via VPN

Anyone have any ideas what would be a good open source (linux compatible) software for sharing?

Re: storage system

There are several free Linux based NAS packages, that might be a good way to go.
