Don't know if it matters much for just one server, but installing the damn
thing is a lot quicker/easier.
For NT 4 you had to
- install the OS
- install the Option Pack for IIS, ftp etc.
- apply whichever service pack
With Win2K
- install the OS (includes all the option pack stuff)
- apply whichever service pack (can do this handily with windows update if
you have a decent connection).

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.
