I gave it its own harddrive set it to installing overnight, it was very slow and found it had failed when I got up and checked it. I rebooted the machine, found that the boot sector of the system drive had been corrupted or otherwise altered and repaired that, then found that the system couldn't find an OS, so I had to reinstall W2k AGAIN. I wiped out the failed installation and gave the HDD back to Windows. So I am going to rebuild a PII I took apart for parts a few months ago and install it there, add it to the network, download an appropriate PHP processing module thingy and play around. Up until the other day, it was too goddam hot to be pissing around up to my elbows in computer guts to bother, but now that it's cooler, I'll get to it in the next week or so.
