Hi, i want to have a home server that can do the following thing
1) file storage and backup
2) connect to printer so I can print from other computer at home
3) install and run program (it can be like a remote desktop thing, it mostly for thing like taxcut where I don't need to have taxcut install in all the computers just so I can view the my save files).

I have a budget of $500ish. I'm completely new to this so any advice on what server software I should be looking into and what hardware spec could fullfill those functions is greatly appreciated.

hello.. he want to run Taxcut on the server so that leaves out everything except windows and mac.

XP, vista, or 7 should handle those funtions fine. You don't need a dedicated server.
