The default booting partition is already server2003 enterprise edition. When ever possible I like to use Windows server machines as it puts them on par with any of my Linux stations. Maybe a hyper-V server with a graphical interface like Server-Gui-Mgmt-Infra...I hear it is pretty lean? ;-) Any recommendations? Any experience with Hyper-V? Maybe the server2003 can run as a virtual?

Except for the outdated graphics adapter, it runs Windows 7 at a decent 3.9 experience index. I was about trashing it but, just for the fun, installed Windows 7. A bit of a challenge regarding graphics drivers. But I managed, and that gave this fine old machine a second life. So add a decent graphics adapter, and you could be off. /gustav >>> accessd at shaw.ca 16-03-13 5:08 >>> The computer only has a couple of GB or RAM, 32bit and only a has dual core so it is hardly a candidate for another version of Windows. _______________________________________________ dba-Tech mailing list dba-Tech at databaseadvisors.com http://databaseadvisors.com/mailman/listinfo/dba-tech Website: http://www.databaseadvisors.com _______________________________________________ dba-Tech mailing list dba-Tech at databaseadvisors.com http://databaseadvisors.com/mailman/listinfo/dba-tech Website: http://www.databaseadvisors.com
