Not the powerpc, per se.... IMHO the best file server is an old
notebook.
Low power and built in UPS with a good battery or two.
As far as serving to newer osX versions goes, another (free) option is
personal websharing. I've used it from 68040 to g4 running Tiger, at
least. There is an update from 8.1 included version which makes it
decent (knows about mime types you can view/download etc in browser)
-- requires 8.1. Major HINT: put an alias in the websharing folder to
any additional folders/partitions/drives you want to share.
