I finally found a Distro where everything worked, OpenSuse 11.3, and now
before I "mess it up" I like to back it up to my external HDD. I thought
PING 3.0 (PartImage Is Not Ghost) would do it as it has done for other OS,
but no - it does not work with EXT4.

So what will you suggest?

I prefer a graphical UI and something run from a boot CD.

In advance I say thank you for all your suggestions:)

It is rather strange though that now you have installed a distribution
where everything works, you do not actually use it.

X-Newsreader: Microsoft Windows Mail 6.0.6002.18197

Do you not consider openSUSE 11.3 adequate for reading/posting to UseNet?

I think that this software would be most appropriate to your capabilities

JBJ's the one, IIRC, who came out here originally looking
for a GNU/Linux distro that looks and acts like Windows.

Yes that is correct.

I am rather surprised that he did not go with PC Linux OS
