Hi!
I have to have a Linux server for shell programming on Windows (XP) clients. Can you help me?

It would be helpful if you provided more details.

Based on your statement above my first thought is you want a VB Script. However since you are asking about a Linux server I am assuming this is not what you want.

What exactly are you trying to achieve? Do you just want an environment to run shell scripts? Are you looking for a server to perform specific task? Are you just looking for a server to store your scripts?

What equipment do you have to work with?

Hi!
Yes I just want an environment to run shell scripts.
I want to install Linux server on one of the machines and use it for shell programming by connecting the WindowsXP clients thru Telnet.

Well, you can install Linux on a box, then use Putty SW on the XP clients to connect. I'd advise using ssh instead of telnet, for security reasons.
If you want a shell env on an XP system, get Cygwin http://www.cygwin.com/
