With XP or Vista you would then have to go with the edition that offered support in that area. For XP that would be the Pro edition and with Vista you would look at the Ultimate if not Enterprise for the increased support seen there. Your sig already shows the 64bit edtition of one of the two mentioned as far as Vista is concerned.

The current addition of ubuntu here is temporary since the live cd install is limited in too many ways. That was simply to test with a beta program being run at the present time. For OSs in general however the particular one selected as far as OS, version, edition, etc. has to be done according to what the system is primarily used for.

Which would you use for networking and desktop application only 98SE or NT 4.0? The question is certainly a one look answer there. Namely you wouldn't be using 98SE for networking while NT wouldn't be any good OS for strictly desktop application.
