Here is a proposal:
set up the machine with w2k, locks it down somewhat (permissons-wise) and
set up an account that can use office, eudora, telnet/ssh, etc. (what is
the etc, anyone?)
Then, set up developer accounts on the machine so people who are interested
can do development. There is a question of whether the dev accounts should
have admin privs. I'd say not if we can help it. We can set up an admin
account that people should only use if they need it for some reason. We
just need to set up perms happily (and document it).
As far as pro vs. server...I have only one reason to want to install server.
And that's terminal services so people can get a remote desktop. That would
be the only server service enabled on that machine.
If there is concensus on this, I want to know how to proceed. Like I said
