Some time in the future I plan on building a server. I am debating on what software to use, cost being an issue. I am debating between Windows 2000 server edition and Windows 2003 server edition. Win2000 I can find cheap be it used or new. The question is, is it still a decent OS to use now. Security of course is something important. The main use of this server is to host my websites on it and a place to download files. I may have to install MySQL on it in case I decide to run a message board on it.
Is Win2000 still a valid OS to use or will I have to go for Win2003?
