You have to pay your server host an extra fee for windows and they install it not you. Unless you have physical access to the server.

a server is useless w/out a fast internet connection.

a server is basically your home computer but w/ a fast internet connection

If thats the case you just need to find a copy of windows server 03, insert the disc and install.

alright here is the deal... :D

i got 3 comps and a server....
all of the three comps have a separate BW because they are at different location... all three have atleast 512 kbps UL...
so i am planning on installing the OS on the server ... download stuff on the server.. and use all four computer (including the server) to UL once i have a complete copy... or if i release something ... using the server i can share the files on all four computers and UL with 4 seeds ! right or is my logic wrong?

you have to make a network on the 3 computers and with the server , after that you just download with what computer you want and just share the files on all computers and seed.

ies it's posible but if you have all the cmputers in the same house and you spleet the same conection it's worth nothing because the speed splets to all computers
