Nope they won't give any... I am trying to setup my own right now... I just wish I knew all the security steps to take when setting up your own server. I only have two computers in my network, so there really isn't much point in reinstalling and making this computer an official server. I have Windows XP Professional installed on the computer that I have.

I have all of my developer applications on my Windows Professional computer, with server stuff... On the other computer I have games and the net of course... I was wanting to set up my own server also because of the experience of doing it. After installing XAMPP and Appserv, I don't really know what programs you need for a webserver\email\ftp server. I believe I got the ftp server down and I don't think email will be too hard to setup, but I need a domain name for that.

The only big issues though is being able to dig into APache, MySQL and try to figure out what their for and how to use them. Of course security also... I was also looking at getting a program to tell me how stable my internet connection is. I have noticed a lot of little downtime areas every once in a while and was wondering if I could check that out. Other than that, thoguh there is tons of more stuff to find out and so little time.
