I wouldn't download the full version just for learning development and admin tasks, download SharePoint Foundation instead:

SharePoint Foundation is a cut down version that doesn't have an 180 day time limit - it's free. I do all of my SharePoint development on a Foundation VM and have no problems deploying WebParts or other features to a full version install.

You mean on virtual machine, I am having server2008 is it ok if I install directly on the machine

jim lahey 8-Nov-12 8:26am

Of course, if you have a proper server then it's even better. We're not lucky enough to have our own servers which is why we use VMs :)

Oops I am just saying that I installed windows server 2008 on my laptop, so will it be compatible enough to run the foundation on my laptop

jim lahey 8-Nov-12 8:29am

Yes, you'll be fine. If you got the OS onto your laptop, you'll get SharePoint Foundation on there too.

Hi is it ok if I had both sharepoint server and FOundation

I don't think so. You can only install one or the other.
