XP Installing what you need to use may have its downsides, but other than buying a few minutes of your time, I can't think of one. Even then it's not so bad, since a Linux/Unix server install is probably a lot less painful then a Windows install.

was put impeccably into words at DebianDay for me last Saturday, by Knut Yrvin of Trolltech - adults try something once, fail, and then are like "ffs this doesn't work". Children try, fail, and then try again, and succeed - maybe on the second, or even fifth retry. But the thing is that they keep at it and overcome the problems in the end.
