Hi all
I am going to try and setup a server i have never used one before but id really like to play around with one so i can understand how they work. I was wondering if anyone would be able to give me some advice on a few things tho.
1. What version of windows server would be the best for a beginner? i think i have a trial of one somewhere but might have to dig it out
2. I dont actually have a spare machine so i was thinking of trying it on a virtual machine using something called virtual box, would a server run ok on a virtual machine i.e stream files from it to my desktop & laptop etc?
Im really sorry for sounding kinda stupid with my questions but having never done this before its something i really want to understand
Really hope you can help, thanks so much
