there is a linux distro called "FreeNAS" which might be of interest to you. From what i can remember it's pretty good and isn't a big fat mama like most desktop derived solutions. I think it occupies 32mb and will go on a flash drive.
Get it here : http://www.freenas.org/
Of course, if you do want a full blooded file server, then i suggest you try SME Server. It is just the dog's doo-dahs. File / Print / HTTP / Mail / SQL / Proxy / AV / Spam / PDC / FTP ....... and you can hook in extended functionality with a couple of rpm's.
I run it on an HP E-Vectra P3-866 which is only slightly larger than a micro-itx system.
