Ok,
I'm a Solaris admin by trade. I also work with RHEL & SLES. At my place of work we bought NetApp SANs. NetApp uses the ZFS file system just like Solaris. ZFS has build in CIFS (newer name SMB). We also have some Sun storage Tech hardware that the NetApp is replacing. On the Linux btrfs is similar to zfs.

I would not use ftp on your network use scp. There are clients that give windows scp, like winscp.

FreeNAS is ZFS setup made easier. It is similar to a Solaris file server or NetAPP setup. Though I don't know if FreeNAS can provide lungs, like the other two. If you are looking a easy setup and a nice user interfase FreeNAS might be good for you. If you are working for a big company you might want to have them buy you a professional grade appliance like Oracle storage, NetAPP or anther type of storage. Ubuntu is an easy Linux disto to do stuff with but I don't have much experience with using samba. We don't use samba at my work place and all the windows shares are on our UNIX hardware.

I hope this helps.
