Your best bet is to go with the Win98 PC. Maybe you should reserve the Win98 machine for development only and keep your installs to a minimum. Don't run the Real player and 17 million other applications on it. Stick with the OS, Email, web browsing, CFStudio and other development tools (with an 8GB drive you don't want to install graphics software or Flash etc.. not enough space...). -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, March 07, 2002 12:29 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: CF-Server-List V1 #91 CF-Server-List Thu, 7 Mar 2002 Volume 1 : Number 91 In this issue: Re: server os?

Upgrade to XP if you can - much more stable! Unless you're playing games on either of your PCs then you might have compatibility problems.

To provide a more meaningful answer, you should post more specific specs on each machine (processor, RAM, etc). -----Original Message----- From: M Zanky [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, March 06, 2002 9:14 AM To: CF-Server Subject: server os?

Yeah, go for WIN2K Server if possible. -----Original Message----- From: M Zanky [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, March 06, 2002 9:14 AM To: CF-Server Subject: server os?

You can run it on ME or 98, just make sure you have enough Prozac and Jack Daniels on hand ;) At 12:14 PM 3/6/2002 -0500, you wrote: >I know you are probably sick of this question, but what would be the >best server OS I should install on a server so that I can easily >configure CF? > >Also, this may sound really dumb, but, if I am working at home in CF >Studio, and have a choice of 2 pc's to hook up to the server, which one >should I use?
