I need to learn a lot more about the guts of Windows server.
My current knowledge consists of what I picked up from our former corporate IT guys and from what limited access I have to our local servers at work. For some reason they don't want me poking around in AD at work.
So, the plan is to build a server at home where I can break it as much as I want without upsetting anyone.
Since we are setting up some virtualized servers here, I figure I need to look into this at some point as well.
Since this server will not be under much load, I should be able to get away with a desktop CPU, but how much CPU and memory do I really need.
I also don't know that I really need raid 5 capability.
So, any suggestions from the server guru's here would be appreciated.
