>>Win2K pro will work fine. There are only a few things that you can do with server that you can't with Pro, and those have to do with being domain controller and queing and stuff. Actually, come to think of it, I don't actually _know_ that you can't do it with Pro, I've just never tried.

>Thanks. Another question for anyone who has experience -- what about upgrading to Win2K Prof over Win98 SE. It's cheaper, but is it as reliable as a clean completely new install?

We've done this with mixed results. All the hardware is identical, so I'm not sure what the difference is. If you're running anti-virus software, that won't run, but when it's worked, everything else has worked great.
