Hi,
I have an unused, fully functional PC running Windows 2000 that I would like to convert into a network server( It is for home use) Can you also tell me what OS I would need to install as well to run the PC as a server?
Cheers,
Steven

It would be a home server for networking 6 computers. I was thinking that Windows Home Server would be suitable for it?

Home server is very limited and i think its OEM only.
Windows 2000 can handle up to 5 clients at a go

yes, windows 2000 actually has way better support for this than xp does as most users have home edition which is useless for network serving
