Go to the source: Microsoft. They have very excellent articles about
running a server. Go to Win2003 server's home page and start
researching from there.

What do you mean by this? Are you asking how to install Linux? A Linux
system has no problem interacting with Windows machines. Please give
more details about what you are trying to do. Knoppix is a Debian-based
distro that is normally run from cd. You can install it, but I wouldn't
suggest it for a Linux newbie. You'd do better with Mandrake as a
starter.
