Can this machine handle the Task?

I'm going to be building a file server on some flavor of linux running samba to share files between my to xboxes running Xbox Media Center.

This is the hardware i hoped to run it on.

Celeron 1.2
512mb Ram
2x 200gig drives on Promise Ultra100 TX2 controller.

Will this handle the task of streaming movies, music, etc to those Xboxes? Also any suggestions on which distro might be best for the task? I am very much a linux newbie so it will be a learning experience as well.

Thanks

That should be plenty on 100mbit networking if that's what you're running. Your interface will be the biggest slowdown speed.

Thanks for the reply.

It will be on a 100Mbit network since that's as fast as the xbox will handle.

Thanks again.
