Debian with the choice of LXDE as window manager. Debian offers high configurability to remove any heavy component.
If you want to simply make a folder containing media accessible to all on the network, I suggest to install minidlna, a UPnP server. All you need is to have the media folders accessible by minidlna. Otherwise the config is a simple text file.
