I successfully installed Linux server in my wife's office (hey, migration to
Linux started!..  She had just one Windows laptop before), and looking for
some working solution for Windows clients.

There are just 2 clients (one notebook, one desktop, both are Win98 SE) in
 the office at a moment (I visit them from time to time with my Linux
 laptop), and the only requirement from "customer side" is that "we need to
 have network disk".
NOTE: there is no requirement to have "Windows networking" operational in
 this network, so I don't want to install SAMBA and would prefer to have NFS
 file system accessible for Windows clients.

Plus, I'd like to have some X-terminal software and SSH client so that it
would be possible to configure that Linux server from another computer (due
to cost-saving & tight budget, server doesn't have own monitor at a moment)

So, what would you recomemnd to me as:
* PC NFS
* X-Terminal for Windows
* SSH client for Windows
software?

I'd like to use (when posisble) either Open-Source, or "Free to Download"
software.
Just to clarify things: it's possible to buy such software, if it doesn't
 cost a lot (<$100).  Otherwide it's not practical to buy software and better
 to buy hardware.
For example, Samsung 17" monitor costs just $155 (incl. taxes). We bought
 such one for Desktop PC.
So, if software costs more $100 - it's better to buy another monitor and
forget about ssh :-))

Again, if PC NFS packages are not free (IIRC, Sun was charging for their PC
NFS software about $495 some time ago ...), I would just install SAMBA server
and forget about NFS.
(ftp server is already working, but some people in office are not familiar
with ftp, so training costs can be too high, comparing with "network disk N:"
experience/working pattern)
