"Low" end pentiums are dirt cheap right now and run Linux exceptionally
well.

Stuff the Linux box under the desk. Telnet in for console, use an X
server (there is a free one and several commerical) or VNC for X apps.
My Linux box is a P5-100, 64Mb RAM, 2Gb HD space (old SCSI drives). It
is in a full tower stuffed under an extension of my desk. I use Exceed for
my X server on my W95 box to run X apps and Tera Term Pro to telnet/ssh in.
Until I could afford Exceed I used VNC. Both TTP and VNC are free products.
