OK, thanks to everyone for your replies. I went and installed
ClarkConnect with Samba and SqueezeCenter, and the system is now
functioning very well. I even get great response from SC to my SBC, I'd
say slightly better than when running SC on my C2D laptop under XP. And
this is for a Celeron III / 600 MHz. Of course, certain tasks are
slower, such as scanning. Transferring files from Windows to the
external HD (which is now formatted to EXT2) works really well over the
network.

I can recommend ClarkConnect for anyone wishing to setup a dedicated
file / SC server, since there's a very good step-by-step guide:

Everything worked first time for me. 

Next up will be a wooden crate inside which I shall install the laptop
internals + external HD with some quiet fans, but that's another story
:)

Thanks again to everyone.
