Home network server

I'm going to be building a home network server and would like some recommendations. Should I go with Windows or a Linux distribution? I might also install some game server applications. Also, what are some good programs (hopefully free) programs that you can install on a networked computer and have it backup your files? Thanks.
 
It depends on what you know and what you want to do. If you don't know anything about Linux the setup will be more difficult but you'll learn more in the process and you'll have a lot more Free software at your disposal. But if you need to run software that only runs on Windows, that pretty much makes your decision for you.

As for backups, I know a bunch of people using backuppc to backup their machines and they love it, I haven't personally used it though so I don't know how much work it'll be to setup.
