System Requirements for NT4 Server?

thomas@nordichardware.com
Hi! I'm about to set up a small server at home, with a slow comp, a Pentium 75 with about 32 MBs of RAM. I wonder what would be wisest, Win 95, NT or 98? The tasks it'll do: FTP-server (at most 2 concurrent users) Firewall Running the agent - If enough power's avaiable.

Mass Storage Controller

NikeShox
I just installed Windows 2000 on my computer (clean install/not a dual boot system) and the device manager is telling me that the Mass Storage Controller drivers for this device are not installed. The system seems to run fine, but it just bugs me that there is something missing.
