Is it possible to install SQL Server 2000 on my PC?

I am pretty much new to using SQL Server 2000. I have been using only open source databases until this time. I want to know if there is any developer version of SQL Server 2000 available. It's for learning purposes only. Is it available free or do I need to pay for it?

Thanks

If you really need 2000, the only way I know of is to subscribe to buy an MSDN subscription. It's still available on the subscribers download page (though I'd do it soon -- it's old enough it wouldn't surprise me if it disappeared soon).

You can download and install SQL Server express 2005. It's free of charge.

http://www.microsoft.com/Sqlserver/2005/en/us/express.aspx

SQL Server express 2008 is here: http://www.microsoft.com/express/database/ But I had problems installing it myself. I'm still using the 2005 version.
