What is the minimum SQL Server version I can use on my replication distributor server? My publisher and subscriber(s) will all be Enterprise Edition (64 bit). However, it seems awefully wasteful to put Enterprise Edition on a box that is just used for distribution. That's another $15K for a server that doesn't do much. Can I use a lower version (Express, Developer, Standard)?
Thank you,

This page (http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms143761.aspx) lists the features (including replication) that are supported by various editions of SQL server. (Go all the way to the bottom for replication)
Basically, Express is not supproted for distributor. Developer edition includes all the functionalities of Enterprise edition SQL server, but it is only licensed for development and/or test purpose, not as a production server.

|||Thank you, Peng. This is exactly what I needed. Looks like SE is the one for my distributor.
Thanks again,
