I need to try out a new MS product - Sharepoint Portal Server

the requirements say: Win2k Server with SP1 or Advanced Server with SP1

will i be able to use it with Win2k Pro?

my university will let me buy Win2k Pro for $5 per CD but I don't think they have Server/Adv Server...

my university sold it's soul to microsoft so we get most mainstream MS products for $5 per CD... (office, all the O/Ses, visual studio, etc)

i thought most colleges had some sort of agreement like this?

hehe, i'm not real sure, but i'm sure it's possible. There are things that both Server and Adv Server have that Pro don't have.

If it says Server or Advance Server you will have to use them not Pro.
