But - why not? Why not call up Dell & say U want a server - and they can
spec. it out for you? OR, R U just trying to do it all yourself - and
try to save money? If that's the case - you may spend a LOT more of your
Time on it - if you try to do it ALL yourself - and, it will take More
time with a learning curve - which might make it More Expensive than
buying it pre-built.
Just my 2 centavos on the issue...

I've done some reading and some googling around, and the situation is
getting less clear, not more clear.
Can someone give me the 5 cent explanation of Windows Server
software? I have a LOT of experience with Linux as a server (Samba)
and peer-to-peer Windoze, but so far I've successfully avoided the
beast known as "Windows Server."
If I buy a box with the software in it, and it needs to allow 20
people to access files on the server, what is the name of the
software in the box? In other words, what do I need to be able to
provide file serving for 20 users?
I've looked around and here's what I THINK I need...
1. Windows Small Business Server 2011 Standard x 1
2. Windows Small Business Server 2011 Standard CAL (5 users) x 3
The Server comes with 5 CAL, and the additional 3 CAL packs will give
me the 20 user licenses I need, right?
And the standard Server software will run on the same hardware as
Windows 7...just an Intel CPU and Mainboard?
Does using the Small Business Server software -require- the use of a
domain on the network?
Thanks for any enlightenment!
Just an old Linux-head here...
