Actually Linux is used as a file server for PCs (by people who know
about it). Last I checked Samba was reporting significant performance
improvements over NT on the same hardware (not that this should come
as any surprise).
If what you need is file and print serving, I think that you will find
that Linux is easy to set up, fast, stable, and extremely cost
effective.
