I'd recommend the SlimCD, which is a bootable Linux
with SlimServer preinstalled.
While I'm happy to see SlimCD so popular, I would _not_ recommend it as a
distribution to be installed on a dedicated machine by someone who does
not know Linux. While SlimCD makes a nice demo system and can be the base
for a very lean installation, it needs quite some know how about eg. Samba
to make it useful in a productive environment.
For the Linux newbie I'd rather recommend something like contribs.org or
ClarkConnect.com which offer hassle free installation, resonable
configuration and a nice web interface. And they're both free for the home
user.
I never understood exactly what a NAS is. Looks a lot like
a computer preinstalled for file sharing to me.
That's exactly what it is.

Looks like the right idea.
Looks like more than powerful enough!
