I will be building a mini server this week & I'd like to know what the best choice would be for a Windows Server OS.
I'll be using the Foxconn D51S with 4GB DDR2-800 RAM & the OCZ Agility 4 64GB SSD. HDDs will be added later on.

The roles I'm looking to use will be DNS & SMB. DHCP is a possibility as well. I may implement other low resource roles in the future.
I'd prefer to utilize RSAT. RDP would be great but it's not required.
What edition should I go for with Server 2008 R2? What equivalent of Server 2012 should I upgrade to when its released?
Thanks for any insight.
