total server newbie here...recommend setup for xserve?

Hello there..we jsut got a new xserve here at our design studio, and I'm looking for tips/pointers on how to set up the server.  Our situation:

-design studio (web/print/motion)
-10 users
-50/50 split macs(10.4) and pcs (win xp - home and pro)

(sidebar:  we have two different offices on the same floor of the building, but they are down the hall from each other...and we all need to connet to the xserve...anyone know the best way to handle that?)

we want to use the server for project management, user management, and probably ftp access.  We deifnitely want to use it to gain access to our project files when we are away from the studio.

As for out project files, I am thinking there will be a base "Jobs" folder, with all of our project's files inside that, and we can designate that as a share point that the mac users can mount using afp and windows users can mount using ftp, and we can access from the outside using ftp.  let me know if i'm on the right track.

We also will probably need to administer this remotely from a pc more often than a mac.  I'm thinking VNC for this...will that work?

I am going through all the documentation that comes with the xserve /os x server before i even think about trying to set it up.  I also ordered the "Essential.." book from o'reilly, which appears to be the bible for os x server.  any other tibits anyone can pass my way is greatly appreciated.

thanks,

rich
