There is a "test cart" set aside to play with network configurations. I am still trying to get Windows 2003 Server through Microsoft Academic Alliance. Not sure about the legalities about using an Academic Alliance software for public use. I will need to contact or research Microsoft about it. The other route is to use a Linux Server. See other post regarding this.
I did managed to play with the current network installed in the office and configured it to share printers. They only have one printer in use now. I left a note for them and hope they will find it in great use in the future.

Creating a Linux Server
I am gathering parts to create a Pentium II Linux Server. I was looking into getting http://www.freeBSD.org once I get the hardware stable. It was going to be an AMD 500Mhz, but the board keyboard and mouse do not respond anymore. So, I will keep you folks up to date.
