PPL have started to see Vista Server build 5112 flying around, i suggest anyone that sees it to grab it and try!

[zammis]

[A4U]

i wonder if Server is better than the normal build, Server 2003 is better than Xp so maybe?

[clarky3429]

i wouldnt mind playing around with it....!

[Neon]

Nor me...sounds like fun

Clarky let me know how it goes man

[Linoman]

I wonder if is just like server 2003?

[ShadowFox]

Sorry if I sound like a n00b for asking this, but what exactly is the significance of a "server" build? Anyone mind explaining it to me, I've never bothered to look into it.

[clarky3429]

it just has more sort of management tools such as user management, network management file management etc, i suppose

[ShadowFox]

Sounds good, if I happen to find a copy I'll deffinately try it out

[x2p]

[Visentinel]

Il get it once my 7 day download rolling total recovers from these last 3 days O_o

Cool though next month a build is meant to leak

[Visentinel]

a server build is special because it has server system optimisations instead of desktop, it comes with all the server gear like IIS and MAIL server

it also comes with the manage your server control panel, the shutdown has a way to log shutdown and restart events.

It just does things in a server way.

Yeah i setup quite a few domains (not internet domains shadowfox) and networked a lot with it, i love server

[Visentinel]

I would reccomend if your gonna run a http server dont use IIS.

Get Apache
DeveloperSide.NET

has a fully integrated Apache package all freeware like mySQL and admin toolz and the lot

Even has Perl Support !
