Has any one tried this?

Or am I better putting a proper server on my box such as 2003 or 2008

Just use Server 2008.

You'll not be stressing it to the point that you'll notice a difference.

is this for learning, or for home use? There's not a huge advantage in a server os in a home environment. My home server is just running vista 64

a bit of both.

So. I've acquired Server 2008.

Should I give it a bash, y'reckon? I could have my own domain!

Is there anything you particularly want to do with it?

Learn stuff. Break things. Pad CV.

Then go for it. Isn't difficult.

Building a 2K8 domain is certainly less difficult than constructing quotes on a forum

So... server 2008. I'm going to do this. With the uni moving to Active Directory, I feel it's time.

Erk.

Interesting price cut on WHS11 -- it's £43 now.

My MediaSmart would run WHS11, although I'd lose the ability to do dynamic disk pools in the process without (as far as I can tell) gaining much of interest.

Right, I'm having that.
