Thanks for your quick response.

I have  a 20 PCs running Win95 and need to build
a LAN for it. I suppose LAN+Internet Server==Intranet?
Do forgive me if I am wrong. These days people use
buzz word without giving any explanation. 
I have some experience with windows NT LAN. But I
am a bit nervous about Microsoft stuff because it seems
that everything they do is a little bit different from others
in a bad way. Is it a taboo if I ask someone which is
a preferred server, NT or Linux?
