Hmmm... can Linux act as a file server for the network? (NT WS and Win95
machines) Also, can it handle having two different NIC cards and two modems?
(ie, will it complain with non-standard IRQs) What version of Linux do you
recommend? RedHat, Slackware? Can it be installed over a network (I have a
CD-ROM drive only in one Win95 machine). How well does DOSEMU work with
communications ports? I run my BBS system, and am a hub, how reliable is
will things run in a DOS window?

Thanks a million for all the information.
