I usually use the CD Writing wizard to back up the files and folders, But Windows XP Professional comes with this Backup Utility.
And its Very Difficult to use, Do you think if I use an External Hard drive, it will be much easier??

I have gone into all programs, accessories, system tools, backup I have selected the backup wizard advanced option and clicked next.

Which of the 3 options should I select if I am backing up in preparation for a clean install?

Backup everything on this computer,
Backup selected files drives or network data and
Only backup the system state data

Which of those 3 options should I select in preparation for a clean install of windows XP
My pictures, music and videos are my main concern.

I am a novice Linux server admin (I can us SSH, vi, cron, and understand config files), but I am willing to learn. However, I do not have hundreds of hours to research and learn all the ins-and-outs of Linux. I need something fairly turnkey:

What is the best server software that will do all or most of the following:
- POP3 server
- SMTP server
- Webmail server (with good standard features, like WYSIWYG editor, attachments, etc.)
- Web-based end-user configuration tools
- Anti-virus
- Anti-spam (blacklists and whitelists & RBL support required, spam filtering logic a plus)
- Authentication data stored in a database for easy management.
- POP-before-SMTP authentication

Similarly, I need to pick the best Linux OS to run this puppy on. I would like an OS with a wizard install, and one with adequate security for a publicly accessible server.

Last of all, it would be great if all of the above would be freely available for commercial use.

Thanks for your help!

Sometime, suddenly a wizard auto appear to invite me see some scan adware tools but I always Cancel b/c I think it’s a trap, surely, I was trapped when I agreed to use the introduced scan tool before.
