I am looking to set up Ubuntu Server as a headless NAS for my home. I would like to have file storage there, as well as a central hub for my MP3s and pictures.
What are the best packages out there to handle this? Can someone post a link to a good tutorial or post some tips?
One constraint I have is that it has to be Windows 7 friendly. By that I mean the shares and streaming should work for a Windows machine.

I just finished doing this myself and I did it using Samba. I'm able to mount the samba shares from my windows & ubuntu computers
Here are some links that helped me get started:
