Windows Server 2003 is a better option... Full feature Trial for 180 days is there to be downloaded from MS... Go for it if you can aford... but if you cant then think fir linux OSes... !!

Find a server administrator's guide, how can there be tutorials on such a vast topic. Guide will be more helpful. It is worth spending on a quality book. Or if you want free just google it up.
Windows Server 2003 should be more ideal cos MS will soon drop the support for Windows 2000. So, if you want to seriously use it for long time, then 2003 would be better of the two.
Besides there are some pretty strong server OS'es, like Linux, BSD's and Solaris. If you think you can handle that those are worth it.

Win server 03 if you can afford it.
Otherwise the following:
>Red Hat/Fedora

>Can even try ubuntu EE server but it isnt the good as redhat.
