Which Unix for Fileserving with NTFS partitions as one sole purpose use?

I downloaded and installed SUSE Pro 9.1 last night, smallish (28MB) installer than goes and gets around 1.2Gb of data from an FTP site.
What a pleasure it is. The install was very easy, kept me informed what was happening all the way through.
Everything about SUSE appear to be incredibly logical so you don't feel uncomfortable with anything.
I've configure Samba and it's fully visible on my network, I just need to work out how to set up local network "public" access to drirectories on the data drives.
Adding extra HDDs is also very simple. just add the disk and YaST finds it and gives you a very easy interface to tell it what you want it to do.
I'm currently going to take some advice I've read here and elsewhere and format them as unix partitions rather than using NTFS.
This has so far been a very positive experience
Mark.

ntfsfix - fix common errors and force Windows to check NTFS SYNOPSIS
ntfsfix [options] device DESCRIPTION
ntfsfix is a utility that fixes some common NTFS problems. ntfsfix is NOT a Linux version of chkdsk. It only repairs some fundamental NTFS inconsistencies, resets the NTFS journal file and schedules an NTFS consistency check for the first boot into Windows. You may run ntfsfix on an NTFS volume if you think it was damaged by Windows or some other way and it can't be mounted. OPTIONS
Below is a summary of all the options that ntfsfix accepts. Nearly all options have two equivalent names. The short name is preceded by - and the long name is preceded by --. Any single letter options, that don't take an argument, can be combined into a single command, e.g. -fv is equivalent to -f -v. Long named options can be abbreviated to any unique prefix of their name. -h, --help Show a list of options with a brief description of each one. -V, --version Show the version number, copyright and license BUGS
There are no known problems with ntfsfix. If you find a bug please send an email describing the problem to the development team: linux-ntfs-dev@lists.sourceforge.net AUTHORS
