	Er, maybe you've already thought of this, but why not just go with Win95
anyways?  Anything NT can do as a server Linux can usually do better, and
the only advantages NT has over 95 as a workstation (IMNSHO) are slightly
better password protection and the ability to read NTFS partitions.  On the
other hand, DirectX and multimedia support for NT still lag *way* behind 95
or 98, and 95 has lower basic hardware requirements than NT -- plus you
don't have five or six dozen background processes churning away while you're
trying to play Starcraft.
	Just a thought...
