Do you have a Windows 2000 Pro CD and Licence. No activation or WGA there.

Edit: Thinking about it a bit longer it might be more fun getting linux to do it(Ubuntu/FC/SUSE etc). Just dont install OpenOffice, gimp etc. They are a waste of space on a server. Ubuntu installs alot of needless software for a server by defualt. FC and SUSE give you the options. Get rid of all the stuff you wont need, Office Apps, Games, dev tools etc. Then all you need is apache, PHP, MySQL, some desktop environment you like and thats about it really. The tricky bit is getting it all working nicely and with reasonable performace.
