Just because you want to run a server, doesnt mean it needs to say "server" in the name. THat just adds junk like domain controlers that youll NEVER use.
Domain controler doesnt mean it has an address like www.winworldabw.com domain controllers are just pointless things that are only supposed to be used in the office area, not home use.
Well then if its just a webserver, why bother using the OS with heavier system requirements when your not going to need it? I run this place off XP Pro and have never even had to USE the server add-ons that XP comes with.

Now, I wouldn't say that, they sometimes have points. I'm probably not going to have my domain controller when I redo things here...
I'd probably say 2000 with Abyss or Apache. You could do XP, but don't need to.
If you have a valid need for a DC, then use 2000 Server.
its not just the dc i need i need dhcp and dns as well as active directory. its the only server software i could find that does these and supports usb for my ADSL modem.
hey acive directory isn't that bad besisdes. it would be slightly faster than if i tried .NET server 2003. which would aslo be VERY expensive. i think i'll stick with 2k as it's what i'm used to

Windows 2000 Pro or XP Pro for newer computers,
otherwise go for Linux... erg.
I'l leaning towards SuSE w/no XWS and AWS.
