If you want to practice domain administration, install one machine as PDC (Primary Domain controller running NT Server), the other one as client (NT Workstation.)
In a domain with a lot of pc's you want a BDC (Backup domain controller running NT Server) for failover when the PDC is crashed or under a heavy load. |

As mosquito mentioned BDC is for backup and you can promote it to PDC if PDC is down. So NT server on one computer and NT WKS on other.
