For sharing files between windows and linux mark lanctot is right use samba there is a help document on configuring samba just google it, i think its on the ubuntu forums. As for linux get a book from the library and use this to help you out with things like installing the software, file permissions,owners, and installing software, and command line instructions to use in terminal. It took me a couple of weeks to go from knowing nothing about linux to having a completely running hassle free machine. Also the ubuntu forums are a good source for debian linux help. I am using ubuntu gutsy on quite a low powered machine 600Mhz Pentium fanless itx pc and it runs slimserver 6.5.4 with plugins and musicip flawlesssly. Also ubuntu gutsy comes with VNC server pre installed this would allow you to use a windows pc to control the linux box. So you wouldnt nessessarily need a keyboard mouse and screen attached to your linux machine. You just have to install tightvnc on the windows machine after enabling remote connections on the linux machine its quite easy.
