In order to share files between Linux and NT, you need to configure SAMBA on the Linux box. This will allow you to view the Linux box and it's shares on NT's Network Neighborhood. As for the hard drive specifications, it would depend on what flavorof Linux you are running. Linux is a very effecient O/S, so you ususally don't need a rocket of a machine to run it. Hope that will at least get you started.
