I've built multi-terabyte systems around CentOS, and I'm in the process of
writing up the "Poor Man's SAN" in my copious free time! ;)

You don't mention what kind of RAID card you're using, but I stick with
3Ware. In a nutshell, all you need to do is a minimal install of CentOS from
the first CD. Yum update everything. After this point, you can config Samba
for your Windows clients, or NFS for other *nixes as needed. Could probably
do AFS as well for Macs, but I haven't done that before.

You'll have to wait until I get my howto done to configure hourly snapshots,
etc....
