i speak spanish so i'll try to speak well. first i think that if it's a server you need to install a stable os, windows (server or 7) is not stable, linux yes, and second, it should consume as little energy as possible because it has to be turned on always. this is my opinion

@SuperGiulianos worked fine with 7/ 2008 r2... worked rather well for serving files...

1GB of Ram for a Windows OS? You're gonna see a lot of blue screens.

@trololololol95 ram size does not mean your going to crash..

Windows 7.aaah

You should change over the Linux, and then use a samba share for your file sharing. Must faster and less bloating on the OS. You server will have less CPU and RAM load that way.
