I'm setting up a school computer lab network. The pc's we
can afford at this time all have xp home on them. Where
can I find information related to using xp home for a
medium sized network (less than 20) and what problems I
am likely to run into. I'm a windows network dummy --
we're switching from mac to pc.

Also, where can I find specific information on the
significant differences between the xp home and xp pro
and the reasons why pro is so much better for networking.

If you are running a computer lab you may very well benefit from running a
domain with XP Pro clients.

Perhaps you would qualify for educational discounts:
