What flavor of Linux is best for setting up a file-server?

Q. My family is scattered throughout the country.

I'd like to set up a Linux file-server that all of us around the country can tap into with SSH and share files. What flavor works best for this ? Ubuntu ? Kubuntu ? CentOS ?
Edit:

Thanks guys. Someone recommended CentOS to me...I just wasn't sure why. Seems like anything out there will run Samba just fine. You guys rule.

A. I'd use CentOS, but if all you're doing is a file share behind a firewall, they'll all run Samba fine.

My phone runs linux can i put a file that runs on linux on my phone?
Q. My phone is an HTC evo 4g and I want to put a Linux file on to my phone. Simply will it run?

A. Android is not Linux, it's a FORK of Linux, and it's not an X86 system, so you can't run binaries that work on your PC.

How to install Linux on my flash drive or external hdd?
