OK, I think I got it. One more question though. Since it
will be used as a WEB server and not a client server, can
I use the version with the least amount of clients? I.e.,
students will not log on to this server, only access the
WEB pages; surveys, forums, 'how to', pages etc. I guess
I'll be the only one logging on to load files and do
maintenance.
Thanks, I know some of these questions may seem rather
foolish, but I haven't clue and I've got to get started.

Then you'll need a server edition. I, of course,
suggest Windows Server
2003 because it's a lot easier and more secure than
2000, but it's really
your call

I want to run a web site off the server.
Currently I use a host to run my site.
I want to be able to have students access the page for
assignments, instruction, surves,forums, etc.
I beleive on average, I'll have 50 - 150 students
accessing the site at the same time.

Anybody accessing your web site is a client...are you
only looking for a
local development machine?

What is my best option if I don't need 'clients' and
just
want a 'web server'? Should I just buy the server
application with the least amount of client support
and
use it to run my web? Which version of W2K or W2003
is
best for me?

What you say is true for Windows 2000 Pro (it can
only
have 10 connections).
Windows 2000 Server and Windows Server 2003 can
have "unlimited"
connections, as they are really server OSes

I want to set up a web server to:
run a front page web site with W2K server
extentions
run .asp pages
run .php pages
run perle script
forums
surveys
flash
streaming video
etc.
What OS do I need or should I use?
Can I use W2K Pro SP1 with server extentions
installed?
I read some KB articles and they said that W2K
used
as
a
server can only handle 10 simultaneous
connections,
and
on average each user uses 3 connections... Does
that
mean
if I use W2K that only three people can access
the
stie
at the same time?
It will only be used for a web site.
Just starting out, so I don't know what else to
ask, or
what other information I need to give right
now...
Any suggestions / advice appreciated...
