Default Can I install Windows Server 2003 on my Desktop?

Hi,
I have never used windows 2003 before, but would like to get some hands on knowledge. I dont have a server and was wondering if I could install in as a dual OS for my Desktop PC?

My computer is too slow to run windows 07/08 server. I just really want to get used to the programs features and how to change administrative features etc.

Cheers People
My Specs are: 3.2Ghz Celeron, 512mb Ram (crap, I know)....It should run server 2003....thats not the problem! lol. I just need to know if I could actually dual boot my system on XP and Windows 2003? I Just wanna learn 2003. Cheers again

Hi,

You never mentioned whats your system specification. Any way since you just want to have some hands on experience, I would rather suggest you to install Windows 2003 on a virtual machine so that you don't mess up your existing installation. VMWare is a great virtualization software. Good luck on your installations.
