Better use win2000 server. We load IIS on all our notebooks so
that our web apps product can be demo'd.  We used to use NT 4,
but win2000 server is a real improvement.

Subject: [PCBUILD] OS's and IIS


I hope this is the right place to ask this...I want to run IIS to test my
ASP's at home.  Don't want to upload because, well, I just want it all
local.  Overkill?  I use this at work, and like it quite alot  :-)

I'd like some input as to what OS to use.  Is it available only with NT
Server?  I have tried to configure Personal Web Server on 98 and got nothing
but crashes.  I'm also considering Windows 2000, because I am at heart a
reckless sort who likes to experiment.  The "guinea pig" machine is not the
only one I have, so I feel okay if it doesn't work out, except for the
expense of it all which will be the primary, but not sole, consideration.
When I find what software will work for me, I will then look into hardware
compatibility.

Thanks!
