In reply to:
I've never used Linux. I've been born and raised on Windows.
Should I use a Linux or XP Pro box? (I have win 2k also)
Well, I feel (rather strongly) that Linux (or even better, OpenBSD) is far superior as a server platform. But there is a significant learning curve.
My advice is go for Linux *iff* you also want to use the opportunity to learn about Linux. If you just want a server with minimum hassle, go for WinXP based on the "better the devil you know" principle. Avoid w2k.
