I have a spare PC and I would like to setup a NAS that is accessible from Windows and Linux. I would like to avoid using Windows as an OS and would like something like Ubuntu or FreeNAS. My only concern is I don't want to have to install special software on each client.

Is there a way to use Ubuntu or FreeNAS and have Windows machines access the files with installing a client on each Windows box?

UPDATE

Thanks for the answers. I wish I could choose more than one. I will give FreeNAS a try and see how it goes. Thanks!
