So, what ya guys think of this? Yay? Nay? and Y? I have installed on my new Dell Server Windows XP Pro. Couldnt afford any Server OS's. Only going to use as a file server and occasional backups. Any suggestions? Advice?

Thanks,
TK
 
the only real difference is the number of clients that can attach and server services like DNS, WINS, DHCP , if you don't need that stuff and will have < 10 attached devices, then go for it
 
I do believe this is where linux comes in perfectly. Can't afford the expensive MS product, so go for linux 🙂

But, if you must, and if it's not going to limit you, then might as well. XP Pro is a nice stable OS. Just make sure to get all those patches.
