hello everybody i want to setup up a computer lab for a school as my ngo but i still don't know much about servers and i was hoping i would get some help here
 
Physics news on Phys.org
about 20 computers and would like to windows server or ubuntu
 
Any answer really depends on what you are trying to accomplish.
 
Actual Windows Server software is expensive isn't it? Who is funding this project?
 
what exactly is the role for this server?
is it just a plain old file server or are you looking to setup a small network with AD-DS

what is your budget?
