With Exchange 2000.  How can I create a conference room calendar that is not
shared from my root e-mail?  What is the best approach?  Create a new user
and then share that callendar?  Call it conference room appointments?

If you want users to be able to book appointments automatically with this room, then you'll need to set up a separate mailbox for the room. See http://www.slipstick.com/calendar/skedresource.htm 

Alternatively, if you want users to be able to access a shared folder that isn't one of the folders listed on the File | Open | Other User's Folder dialog, the mailbox owner needs to grant "folder visible" permission to the root of the mailbox and any other parent folders of the shared folder, as well as appropriate permission -- at least Reviewer -- on the shared folder itself.

The user who needs access then goes into Tools | E-mail Accounts or Tools | Services (depending on the Outlook version), brings up the properties for the Exchange Server service, and on the Advanced tab, adds the mailbox.

For more information on folder permissions, with how-to screen shots, see http://www.howto-outlook.com/howto/permissions.htm and http://office.microsoft.com/assistance/preview.aspx?AssetID=HA011134811033
