Sounds like fun although be careful Bert and Sandeep will have you deep in the bowels of a server if you let them. Personally I just use logmein from wherever onto my network and not get too complicated. To each their own.
I use Windows 2003 server Enterprise edition which I purchased with 25 cals on Ebay. it works fine although I really use it as peer to peer without a domain. Have fun - stop and smell the roses - or go the Flavel House or Maritime Museum (local fun).
