since you have intel box and new to unix, I would suggest installing linux. they are dfferent linux vendor redhat and suse are the major vendor ones

you can download suse linux free from http://www.suse.com/us/private/download/

or fedora by redhat free from http://www.redhat.com

the installation of linux are self explanatry but I advice to install full graphical mode which includes kde for graphical use

suse linux comes with proftp which is a good ftp server software.
