Haha, you don't know anything about Linux, do you? The whole underlying architecture and communication with the hardware is different, so it won't run Windows exe's (unless you use an exe interpreter/recompiler like Wine).

Also, don't go with 95/98. The architecture of that is outdated and somewhat crashy. Your best bets lie at newer versions of NT, or XP (which is basically built off of NT).
