I like Mark Minasi's books on Windows.

You need to decide if you want to have a Workgroup or a Domain. M$ recommends a Domain for 10 or more computers, but you could have a Domain with 3 computers or a Workgroup with 20 or more computers before administration becomes a bitch.

I use Trend Micro Office Scan for AV and a combo of Ghost, a nifty batch file, WinZip, FTP, and hot swappable SATA drives that go off site with me every night to back up our entire network (25 computers) every night.

Workgroups are easy. Just make sure every computer has the same Workgroup name and after 30 minutes or so, they'll all show up in My Network Neighborhood. File sharing can then commence.
