               LINUX is the way to go, I would not even connect to the Internet with a windows rig.

Be well. Game on.

               From a windows family I advise not to use vista/7/2008/8 as many of the nwnx plugins crashes under these systems

xp, 2000, 2003 are fine

               Is running a Windows 2000 or XP server still advisable given possible security issues?

Windows 2000 was EOL'd in 2010, and Microsoft announced the EOL of Windows XP in 2014. With a third of companies still using XP, hackers are keeping their exploits under wraps for now, to use them after Microsoft ends support for it.
