Server choices - linux / MS?

[David Kuntadi]

I think you should install 1 server and 1 firewall/router.
My suggestion is:

1, IPCOP as firewall:
http://www.ipcop.org/

2. Add update accelator on ipcop to cache all update:
http://update-accelerator.advproxy.net/

3. Ubuntu server for mai server, install webmin for ease administration:

4. Add backuppc on ubuntu server to backup user's data
