That would be a workstation then, not a server?

Install Windows first. It's a bad sportsman and has a history of
interfering with other operating systems.
Make sure that Windows boot from the bootmanager you choose. I like
Grub, but Lilo seems to be more popular and more easy to use
initially.

If Knoppix works, then other Debians work. If you want to learn, I
suggest installing a stock Woody. That is more work but also more
learning.
Don't use Sarge or Sid.
