I am thinking of setting up a server from an old windows xp desktop. Is Xubuntu a good OS for this.

It also has only a 320 GB hard drive. It will be connected to by up to 5 computers at once. Should I add a 1 TB hard drive. Internal or External
 
One of the best file servers that I've made out of old parts was with FreeNAS. It was an old 400MHz Pentium with something like 256 MB of RAM. It works great for a file server and is very easy to configure.

Do NOT use freenas 8 imo... I used it and can not get the file storage part to work at all. Freenas 7 works perfectly fine every time. In my opinion, if you'll use freenas go with freenas 7.

Aside from that, it's a very good program.
