Do all your learning off the main network.
When you're ready you should upgrade the FE's to 2003 and then the
BE's.
Don't worry about the version of OWA or whatever you might be worried
about. You'll get the version that's on the Mailbox servers rather
than the version of the FE.

My question was....

Will I be able to install an Exchange2003 in my environment when I have an
Exchange2000 FE.
