I've found Win 2K to be very stable. I use it for my workstations, as well
as a CF/IIS server and a SQL 7.0 server. I've not yet tried it with SQL
2000.
You mentioned that you would be using Win2K soley for SQL, but I always feel
it's important to mention that if you're ever planning on web serving with
Win2K, that you should install the Win2K advanced version. Win2K Pro only
allows 10 connections to IIS at a time, Advanced allows unlimited. It's one
of those silly microsoft things where they throw in free software that's
crippled depending on the license of the OS you purchase. I wouldn't be
suprised if they lose the "scientific" mode of the calculator in future,
lower-end releases. ;)
FYI, I found SQL 2000 Enterprise for $3952 @ PriceComputing.com with free
shipping and no tax if you live outside of Wisconsin.

Subject: OT: W2K vs. NT
Howdy all. I'm about to take the plunge and get my SQL 2000 box. As
usual, I'm afraid to blow my nose without input from you guys. LOL
Any advantages/disadvantages with NT 4 vs. Win 2000? Please consider
I'm a novice when it come to Windows. I've learned enough NT to keep
my CF/Web server <knocking_wood>running almost
constantly</knocking_wood>. Will I have to learn a bunch of new stuff
to keep 2000 going? Is 2000 stable? I'm doing pretty good with NT sp5
and don't want to bite off more than I can chew. The SQL machine will
be for SQL Server only! The only other software I'd install is some
defrag stuff and a client for my Retrospect backup.
FYI. I signed up for a biz account with PC Connection and they're
going to sell me SQL 2000 with a single Processor license for 4K on
the nose. Beats the next best price I could find by 700 bucks.
