Which flavor of Windows 2000 should I try?

I'd like install Win2000 on a test system I just set up but I need more info as to which one I should choose. Any suggestions? Or should I wait for WinXP to come out and try that? Thanks.
 
If you're just going to be using it for normal tasks, 2000 Professional will be best. You don't need one of the 2000 Server versions unless you are going to be...guess what?...serving something (web pages, ftp, etc).
If the system listed in your profile is the one you will be installing this on, then you should be able to run XP very well on it. If you have a different test system, you will need to tell us what the specs of it are, so some of the people here who have worked with XP more than I have can advise you as to how you can expect XP to run on it.
 
Actually my test system has the following:

MSI K7T Turbo LE non-raid
1 GHZ Tbird
ATI Rage 128
Creative Modem
10 Gig HDD

Pretty sparse, I know. I just put together this system just for the heck of it. I'm thinking about making into a video capture machine if I can get a AIW Radeon sometime in the future. But right now, I'd like to see what all the hubbub over Win2000/XP is about and try them out before upgrading my current system. Make sense?
 
You should be just fine with XP on that system. But since I haven't used it much at all (only on friend's computers), I can't really say too much in terms of recommending or not recommending it.
 
Go with XP, there are some pretty nice features built into it. I think you will like it.
