Have you looked into amahi? I use it on my network, it is based on fedora 14
and has greyhole for expansion. Also does dns and dhcp. Has one click
install plugin software like sabnzbd couch potato and sickbeard. Also dlna
servers etc. I moved off of windows home server to it and couldn't be
happier!
