I wasn't even thinking about that... XP hasn't come out with a server
edition yet, has it?

conversation honest.. I think if you are looking at using XP as a file
server then you probably are going to fall short just like any other
workstation.. (Limit 10). In addition the thread handling of a workstation
is designed to handle Workstation processes as a priority to Server
processes.. Personally I would either lay down NT server or 2000 Server for
handling this.. If you don't want the extra overhead then go with NT.. If
your needing some advanced functions like MMC, Clustering, etc.. then you
would need to go 2000.. You should also consider using Linux and Samba..
They work very nice for a file server and even act perfectly as a NT domain
controller and is transparent to the user.

in.
