Setting up a computer lab for a school involves several key considerations, particularly regarding server choice and budget. The discussion highlights the need to determine the number of computers, with a suggestion of around 20. The choice between Windows Server and Ubuntu is also debated, with an acknowledgment that Windows Server can be costly.

Establishing a clear budget is essential for making informed decisions about the setup.
