to start with, here's what i'd like to know about.
Servers.
i've thought about which topic to post under...
but i can't determine the best, being networking as it's for one...
general hardware it is such, operating systems i need one, etc..
really what i seek is general info on all aspects. if there is a better topic, please move this. otherwise, further questions will be placed in respective topics.
i have a LAN, and i'd like to add a server to it.
as far as using Linux, i'd really rather not.
so Windows based is the idea.
this would be for LAN access, as well as <hopefully> for FTP use as well...
i'm seeking links to info.
how a server works, to how to set it up and configure.
hardware options, software options.
obviously, i'm not in any direction yet...
so any comparison of different options is Greatly appreciated.
thanks to anyone who can offer me some insight.
