Dumb Win2K question

[Fuser Man]

Say someone was to buy a copy of Win 2K and install it on 5 different computers, whould there be any problem to network these computers? Should they get Win NT with a licence pack instead?
They also want to run their DSL through out their network.

I'll be waiting for your replies so I can tell this person.

Technically it shouldn't be a problem. Morally is a different story.

There's only one word, ONE WORD that will solve all your problems: LINUX

It shouldn't be a problem. Windows doesn't check serials on networks.. Hlaf-Life won't let you run multi-player using the same serials but Windows doesn't have that "feature"...

sure W2K workstations in a networked environment will work even if you installed w2k using the same CD. This is because the installation creates a different System ID for each PC.
