What best operating software to run...?
I am about to open an Internet Cafe that will be using a thin client system, about 10 to 20 seat, and just one Dell 2650 server; what best operating software can I use with the Dell Server?
XP pro, 2000, 2003, or what?

I've started using Windows 8 and I'm quite satisfied.
There is a lot of software which is available for this OS.

Here is another possibility for you. Try just using Knoppix booted from the DVD. You don't need a hard drive, don't need antivirus and if it gets messed up just reboot. You don't need a server either. It will not save anything unless they put it on a removable drive. It is loaded with a bunch of software , games, utilities, browsers, everything. Oh, and its free. How about that, you can try it out in a test run and it will cost you nothing.

If the 10-20 systems are using remote terminal thin sessions you'll need a server edition OS. XP won't cut it...2000 is pretty dated at this point.

You might want to rephrase the question. I think people are avoiding your question just assuming it's going to lead to a flame war.
Haven't really used any of those besides XP and I'm guessing it is the most robust of the three.
