I only use Smoothwall, and I Love it!!
I use Windows 2000 Pro, for everything else (on other servers) never really had a use for pay proggies. exception is the video server, I use Beyond TV for the TV recording, but use the off the shelf-with-the-Media adaptor-software to serve Video to all the TVs in the house.

Right now, Im using mine for a backup server, but it was really my failed attempt at a appache server lol
lolBasically the possibilities are endless. Smoothwall firewall/router, filer server, web server, mail server. It really depends on your needs and what you want.
You could always install a Linux distro, which would pretty much allow you to do any of the above with a bit of research on how to get the appropriate service up and running.

I host files for work and for access to all of my files from anywhere. The possibilities are endless. "Where do you want to go today?" j/k Is there something you had in mind?
Shellshock, we still have options for your server. Just bypass your mom and im me.
