What type of server do you want it to be? You can have it be a file/web server fairly easily, but if you want it to be a domain controller then no you can't with the included services.

You can make XP do just about everything you want. SQL server shouldnt be a problem.

unless you plan on installing microsoft server software, or need more then 10 connections xp will be fine.

I know SQL 2005 express works on XP. Never tried any of the other version son xp.
