    Is this possible? I just read that its not supported by microsoft.

    Basically, i have a spare dell desktop that i have a bunch of hard drives to shove in it and i want it to run windows home server. I just ordered a linksys wireless card for it (the same that is in my other desktop currently) because the server would have to be wireless. I ordered the trial software for the server from microsoft before i bought it to see if it was everything i was hoping it to be. But now i dont know if i will be able to get this to work. Is there a way to "hack" it to get it to work?

    If not, i have a license for 2003 server (standard and enterprise) would it be possible to get all the features of windows home server with it? Would ubuntu server do this also?


    edit: its a non issue now. I am going to re do the way my network is setup so i can have it wired.
