I have something very close to that setup. A Win2K machine, a linux box, a laptop and a couple of other desktops running Win98 that use Linux for a file server (although the MS machines can also see each other and share files directly).

The way I did it was:

a) My linux box is pure linux, M$ free, no Win98 needed.
b) I used red-hat 6.2 but I think they're probably all pretty similar, but JC knows more about that. And they're all cheap, between $40-$80; I hope your stocks aren't so old-economy that you can perceive that difference. (If they are, then this week you're going back to CP/M and dog food.)
c) I can't imagine a Linux distribution coming without Samba, the program you need to make Linux an M$ net client and/or server. Red Hat has it but I'm sure they all do. Samba is a good program. Bit of a pain to set up.
