Since you mentioned a _heavily_used server, you might just as well start with 
Linux - preferably on your own network. (An old 486 makes a good server).

You'll have a lot more network tools to use under Linux than 
under Windows, and Linux gives you more control: unlike Windows, it won't
require a reboot every time you make a  minor programming mistake. Don't even
consider DOS.
