My interest in W2K Server may be somewhat unusual, but hopefully
someone will address it. My wife and I have two computers, one good
and the other obsolete. An experiment indicated that RDP would allow
the latter to function as a thin client, though consumer Windows does
not support concurrent sessions. (And that's what I want, to use the
better computer as an application server.)
I purchased the "promo" edition of W2K Advanced Server for $88 online,
which has a "10-client access limit." Does anyone know whether I shall
be able to use it for my intended purpose without purchasing CALs?--at
any rate, I have only the vaguest idea as to what they are or how to
activate them.
Otherwise I could go with Linux, though it is more difficult to
configure and forces the terminal user to use Linux also. But with W2K
still not quite obsolete, this seems like an interesting provisional
solution.
