which os to use for vbulletin?

[rinkerr2]

I must be dense, but I have not found in your documentation a list of server OS versions that are supported, or a recommended platform to use.

I will be trying this out for use at a community college as a staff forum. We have Windows 2000 server boxes as our current standard. Can I just load vBulletin on one of these to try it out? Can it even be configured to run on an XP station?

Thanks. Obviously, I am new to this type of software. I appreciate the help.

It will run on windows 2000 as long as it has php and mysql installed with IIS or apache

Same goes for XP,

Anything that supports PHP, MySQL, and a decent webserver (apache).
