I have history of building computers so i know how to put one together. I am wanting to build a server for myself. Of course I want good so I have bein looking at getting a dual intel xeon mother board with 2 3.0 ghz processors. Question one: I assume u dont have to but just to make sure, the server will work with just one processor to start with then buy another one later on? Just seein if i need to buy the 2 processors at the same time.
Question two: I dont have much knowledge and admin use (setup and maintenance) of a windows server. So i plan on taking some classes in school but gonna get a head start. So whats a good reference if i need help with the setup and maintenance of it? a book or online webpage so on, just looking for what you would recommend
Question three: Linux or Windows?
Thank you for any help im wanting to keep the server at initial price of 500ish i know thats pretty much the processor and a board, but i got hard drives already and ram that will work in it. But can i also get some recommendations for the case? It will be at home. Thank again.
