Need Mac Mini Server set up advice

I am getting ready to purchase a Mac Mini. Are there any sites or threads with a step by step guide to setup a Mac Mini server?
I have an Ipad as a cortoller and Valab DAC to start.
I need advice for software, configuring the setup, and general info.
Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Might start a new thread for this but I downloaded the XLD suggested above and damned if I can get anything to happen with it. XLD.app was moved to applications and seems to be running but I never see the general GUI. What am I missing?

Thanks Clio09. That helped a bunch. Although XLD was running, loading the CD and then selecting "open audio cd" got the GUI to show up. I had a cd in the machine from the start. That must've been the problem.
It did not take as long as I expected to rip the cd. I have EAC on my HP laptop and ripping takes a bit longer from what I recall (haven't used since I got the mini).
Now I have to decide whether or not I need to re-rip the 5000+ songs to make sure rips are accurate.
