Hi guys,

I have a laptop I just replaced lying around. Its pretty decent in terms of spec but because the charger is acting the maggot it needs to be stationary (defeating the purpose of it being a "lap" top. Off the top of my head it's got 500GB hard drive, 2GB of ram and is running Win7 ultimate in its stride.

I was thinking a good use for this would be as a source code/media server. I have no experience with servers so I don't know if this is the right usage for this laptop. As for OS's I have access to Linux or Win Server 08 (never used either)

So do you think it would make a good server and if so which os should I run on it?
