Greetings all,

I was wondering if anyone would have any suggestions for a linux distro or base with extra packages that i would be able to setup on a fileserver that can actively scan the local system(especially when new drives are introduced) as well as be able to scan all network pc's, irrelevent of os or platform.
I'm setting a "minor" network at home and would just like to be able to have a consistent and stable security pc/platform.
I'm not completely raw to linux. So even if the system requires a little technical detail to setup, i'd like to check it out.

Any help in this regard would be greatly
appreciated.
Thanks in advance,

Hey thanks, yeah i realise i can use any distro for the fileserver. I was just wondering if there would be a prefered considering the network virus scanning portion of my plan. As far as that. Will clamav be capable of doing that? From what i've gone through so far of there wiki I don't see anything related to network scanning.
