If you're just using it for storage (it's only on when you want to transfer data) then you'll be fine w/ any linux distro. If you want a media server then it's probably best to get a router that supports hardware shares and stick a 1TB drive into a USB dock unless you're OK w/ the ~$35+/year in extra electricity consumption associated with using an old computer as an always on server.
