Strange..I have Win2k Server on a PII/300 with 128MB and it runs fine.
Well, I only have two other NT boxes talking to it. At work I use Win2k Pro
w/128MB (RC1) and it's ok.
Windows 2000 should be called Wizards 2000 (or Wiz2k). Any idiot could
administor a Win2k box.. Immediately after you complete the installation of
Wiz2k Server or Advanced Server, the first successful boot brings up a
wizard option for every service, like DNS, Active Directory, etc.. Just to
change the Workgroup in Network Properties you have to play 20 questions..
On NT4 you just right-click Network Neighborhood and select properties, then
change the name. In Wiz2k it won't let you just dive right in, rather it
says "a) My computer is part of a business network and talks to other
computers b)My computer does not participate on a network with other
computers --pause-- a) My computer is part of a domain blah blah blah b)
My computer does not require me to login with a blah blah blah....
Honestly, it's rather insulting that Microsoft has lowered the standards of
being an NT admin.. When I got my MCSE it was actually worth something.
Now, all the Junior Techs at my company are getting their MCSE just to make
$10/hr.. They're a dime a dozen...
