PowerEdge 2950 New install - Help!

$

Just acquired a "new to me" PowerEdge 2950. Will have to install OS and whatever else software to run this puppy.

I'm new to the world of server installation other than we have had one already in my office (of four people) for a decade running 2003 Server Enterprise. I've not handled anything other than updates and data control since it was installed.

So, with this newer box, it doesn't need to be complicated at all. We don't have a lot of data. We just need it to work and have remote access for when we are on the road. (One of the reasons for newer server hardware) Is there any good reason to run 64-bit vs. 32-bit? This machine will be FAR from taxed. We might have 80GB of data maximum, and with only 4 users, I'm not really concerned about a bottle neck anywhere.

Any suggestions as to what we will need for software (other than Windows Server of some version), and in what order should it be installed.

Thanks for the help.
