I am not quite sure I understand what you want to do.
Do you want to set up a file server for your MacOS X machine? A router?
What kind of hardware do you want to use? How many computers will access it?

Just using my foreign language background, I think he is trying to find the best type of UNIX system, favorably LINUX that works well with OSX in a LAN setting. I do not know the answer, but I thought I would help. I would think that most LINUX systems would get along just fine with OSX. But I might be wrong of course.

I'd say this is something you can to with any newer, major Linux-distribution. I've used Redhat occasionally and find I quite easy to setup for these kind of things.

Maybe FreeBSD is also interesting for you (that's what I use) since OS X is related to it. While configuring that system, you'll learn a lot about the guts of OS X.

FreeBSD will seem more familiar if you've been doing a lot of things from the OS X command line. FreeBSD is a good OS, and relatively easy to install and to maintain, especially when compared to OpenBSD and some of the more esoteric Linux distributions. For ease of installation among Linux vendors, Mandrake probably takes the prize. It's much more GUI-oriented than some of the others. What sort of file serving were you planning to do? NFS? Netatalk? SMB? WebDAV?

Now were this asked in a Linux forum there could probably be a distro flame fest. 
Anyway, I'd recommend Mandrake, RedHat, SuSE for ease of use, Debian, too, because of apt-get among others.
You could also try FreeBSD, or if you're feeling adventurous, Darwin for Intel.
