HP Vectra VE...What OS?

Hi all,

I aquired a HP Vectra VE with the following spec from work:

266MHz Celeron
256MB RAM
36GB 10k RPM Maxtor SCSI Drive (Yep...I was surprised too!)
CD-ROM

What OS should I put on the drive? It has 98 1st Ed. at the moment. I want to put it on my home network as a File and Print Server, and to Log Weather Station data. I was thinking Win98SE for best running, or Win2K at a push? Or would it be OK on Win2K?

Also, what is the maximum processor this system will take? The Board is (As written on it) a "VL-609". It has a Slot 1 slot.

Thanks,

Neil
