Either

1. put Linux on the machine

or

b) choose a server that will still work with 98 - Firebird and/or PostgreSQL will AFAIK run on 98 (though it's not recommended for serious work, undergrad messing around should be fine!).

How much RAM do you have? Why can't your uni provide you with a 2000 or XP box? AFAIK, virtually all educational institutions (here in Ireland anyway) get Widows for free.
