Don't know why but I received SB Server 2003 Premium Ed. with 5 Client Licenses from MSFT the other day. I've networked 3 XP boxes in my house peer to peer for the past year and a half and I'm wondering if I should go to a real server (Dell always runs those server deals).

Does anyone have an idea of how difficult that would be and whether I'd still be able to configure different PCs/notebooks with their own software (i.e., the kids' box has different software than my PC or the notebook)?

Thanks.

If you have an interest, I'd say install the server. SB server comes with Exchange email server, web server, sql server and a couple of others. It's actually a really nice all in one package.

It will not affect what software you install on your other machines, as long as they have TCP/IP installed they will be able to communicate with it.
