Another option is VNC which is kinda cool. Just get and old 486/P75-120
mb, drive and spare parts, install 95 and the vnc server, and network it
to your linux box. Then you can get 'real' windows running in a 'window'
on the linux desktop using 'dual processor' technology (and a vnc
viewer) on even old PC's like mine :-)  Files and printers are shared
with samba, of course and I found this a cheaper and easier alternative
since I have a lot of PC 'junk' laying around...

It's a little slow viewing 95 on linux, but acceptable, and most
programs run (except some games, directX etc... same as vmware)... 

When it crashes, just press the reset button... :-)
