Here's a link to some digital photography lessons incorporating the GIMP

The picture is a little less rosy for digital video, but I don't have

non-linear video editor.

If you're just serving up files to Windows/Mac clients, you should be in
good shape using Samba and Netatalk.

Again, welcome. Best of luck with your testing. Be sure to ask questions
here as they come up.
