NTFS OR FAT32

You want NTFS, plain and simple *especially* for a server. Take a look at these articles:

Hi,
You must use NTFS!
Without NTFS you can't manage with security permission accesses of the users. With FAT32 you will have only share permissions (to hard to manage user's accesses).

The articles mentioned in the previous answer are worth a look. In short, you need NTFS for using Windows 2000 server and it would be nice to use even if you install Windows 2000 Professional.
For Windows 98/ME, you must use FAT32. The most important aspect of using NTFS is the security reason, because FAT32 doesn't give you file level security. With NTFS, you'll get a 'Security' tab in the properties of any file or folder and you could change inheritence and could be able to propogate security through child folders, subfolders or files.
Good Luck.
