    "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.
