Normally oc, I would n't give a rip about windows, but I'm about to install
windows2k on my new server (dual-boot) for hardware testing (and games) and
I would like to avoid the invasions of privacy and DRM nonsense of sp3.
Here's a good link to start with:

I also want to catch everything going thru my linux firewall.  Normally I
would trust everything on my internal net, but not so with the M$ virus
inside.   I'll be running ethereal to watch what transpires, and I believe
at that point that it will be possible to spoof M$ servers.
