I am IT director for a very small business and I was given the go to start researching getting our own server and a new OS to replace our current hosting company. I wanted to know if anyone could recommend a good system to me. I understand that Dell has great prices and Compaq is something I would like to avoid. I have dealt with 3 compaqs, a laptop, a Presario 5000 and 5125. All 3 compaqs have problems. The laptop and the 5000 have serious hardware issues right off the bat. The best Compaq I have worked with is the 5185. The server will be our WebServer, and not used for the office LAN. Also, if someone could direct me to a good OS. I ran Win98 and ran our server for a few weeks with a dial-up out of necessity, but our FrontPage server extensions would not work. I am new to this, but was able to set up the server and bring it online. I am currently using Microsoft personal web server. I am hoping that win2K has something better, or a better version of what they have. Thank you for even reading this far, if you reply with some good info, I will be very grateful. Thank you.
