For a home file server, you might want to consider StormOS.... it's
openSolaris with ZFS with a friendly desktop environment (gnome?) Anyway, I
am sure it would be tough to use for anything other than a file server, but
ZFS is all about data integrity...It makes two copies of everything and
keeps them at different places on the disk, and if it finds one is corrupted
it automatically fixes the other.  like software raid, but with additional
features.
