q: reporting service 2005

Hello,
I installed SQL Server 2005 into a Windows 2000 Pro machine, I have
following question:
1. will I be able to use Reporting services to deploy the reports to the
same machine as a report server?
2. Can I modify and deploy mo old reports written in RS2000
3. Is there any web site that show step by step how I can work with RS2005?

Yes, you should be able to do that. Consider performance implications
if the server is anything but lightly loaded.

Yes, but it's a one way process (for most practical purposes). Once
you have opened an RS2000 report in BIDS and deployed it on RS2005 you
won't be able (without some hand editing) to deploy the report at a
future date on an RS2000 server.
If you have a possible need to return/use RS2000 make a backup in the
old format before deploying on RS2005.

Books Online has a lot of useful information.
Also take a look at http://www.microsoft.com/events. There is a series
of RS2005 webcasts underway.
