You can host the Documents and Settings folder (profiles) on any file server. Every computer in which this will apply to, on the network, will require you to modify the Registry. Change the value of the ProfilesDirectory string in the [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\ProfileList] key to the path of the network drive and directory that the Profiles are being hosted on.
EDIT: My vote would go to either Debian or Mandrake, depending on how familiar you are with Linux (less familiar means go with Mandrake).
