SBS 2003 to study on

Hi,
I received a free copy of SBS 2003 from Microsoft. With this, I’ve set up a small network at home to study on – going for my MCSE.

Is this going to give me a good portion of ‘hands on’ studying? And as mentioned in my previous post: Can I use some Server 2000 books and study guides along with the Server 2003 books? I haven’t seen a big difference in the OS, but do assume there are.

Reason I ask is that I have some 2000 books and a friend is giving me his study course for 2000. But I’ll be taking my 2003.

Thanks.
