Different OS.

Windows 2000 has IIS services and will run on that hardware.

not sure if apache runs on win95 or not
http://httpd.apache.org/
otherwise you could squeeze linux on there and run apache that way

This is true also. Linux is free.

A simple way that i found is to get LiteServe, i have it on my pc and use it as a server. You can setup a Web server, FTP, E-mail, and telnet.
