    i have a pentium ii with server 2003 already on the home network. is there any advantage to purchasing the windows home server product for my AMD semporon? i have been using windows server for a couple of years now. love it! for simple storage management, sharing, streaming and the like. is it better to get longhorn server standard or try this product. allthough i only have 6 machines on network. my needs are not that important compared to somone say! in a company. i do have a lot of music and picture and such!

    respectfully!

    Well, I'll would say rather no. Windows Home Server is for Users that have less or no network experience or don't have time to manually set things up. WHS provides everything a home networks needs, but with far lesser configuration required.

    Still don't know what you want? Y'know what, give it a test drive! The beta 2 is pretty stable (exept that totally buggin' client remote problem) on the server side. And if everything works as expected - the automated backup feature of WHS is pretty fancy ;D Even for a more experienced user like you should be.
