Does basic Server - Digital TV Server ( with correct cards installed) media Streaming, and its real easy to setup to share on a windows network - all built in.

USEROS Home Server (darrenyates.com.au) - its a shame they wont put the ISO file as a download - fair to say - I have several copies in various locations as backups.

Yes am thinking of setting one of these up at home, sounds just what I want

Aah, gotcha. I haven't actually heard of this one before - I'l have to take a look sometime. The one I usually point novices who need a server at is SME Server - I personally hate it, but there's no denying it does a good job, and it has a decent web interface for those who can't handle the command-line.
