What server versions can run exchange

trying to price up a cheap server for home, i've already got a HP ML350 so i'm ordering another 16GB RAM for it and an addition 1TB hard disk to mirror.

I am just wondering, If I purchase Windows Server 2012 Foundation can i install exchange on that, or od I have to have the full blown version?

I cant find a definite answer anywhere online

thankyou! I've spent an hour this morning and couln't get anything definite.

We don’t support the installation of Exchange 2013 on a computer that’s running in Windows Server Core mode. The computer must be running the full installation of Windows Server. If you want to install Exchange 2013 on a computer that’s running in Windows Server Core mode, you must convert the server to a full installation of Windows Server by doing one of the following:
Windows Server 2008 R2   Reinstall Windows Server and select the Full Installation option.
Windows Server 2012 R2 or Windows Server 2012   Convert your Windows Server Core mode server to a full installation by running the following command.
Install-WindowsFeature Server-Gui-Mgmt-Infra, Server-Gui-Shell -Restart

I've also just noticed there was 2 comments, I have requested that the points be shared as I cannot change it
