Recompiling a kernel requires the sources, thus the sources were
mentioned in the original question.
Changing a few config options in NT is not the same as compiling a
kernel.

WHat part of spreadsheet functionality you need?
Basically, when thinking about spreadsheet I'm thinking about
visual editor for numbers with some numeric analysis functions,
good formula support etc. The simplier interface is the better -
just like good old Lotus 1-2-3 2.01.
For this kind of spreadsheets, you can try one of sc derivatives: ss
slsc, vote
or oleo (from FSF). I don't like oleo, becouse it is very EMACS-styled,
but if you use Emacs, you'll find it nice.
These are curses-based spreadsheets, and of course they are not too
resource-hungry.
If you think of spreadsheet as of tool for making nice graphical
reports, look to WingZ or XessLite. WingZ run just fine on 486DX2 with
20Mb. I've abandoned it only becouse it doesn't support cyrillic fonts.
Siag is also interesting choice. It has both curses and GUI version, and
is highly customizable (if you know Scheme)

Now, since 2.0.36 kernel was out, there are two answers to this
question.
1. Upgrade your kernel to 2.0.36 (just download sources from
ftp.kernel.org, compile and install. No need to hunt for RPMS, although
it might be helpful, if you are afraid of _recompiling_ _the_ _kernel)
2. Read BOOT-Prompt-HOWTO, find out that you need kernel command-line
attribute mem=96M and read man lilo for append command in lilo.conf,
which would let you to specify this parameter permanently.

Where you get your distribution from? Each distribution of Linux
includes ready-to install packages of all this stuff.
If you have CD, mount it, start your package manager, and go to
"Development" section.
If not, go to that very ftp site your distribution come from, i.e.
ftp.redhat.com, ftp.debian.org, ftp.suse.de etc.

Really, you should have no trouble to run Borland C (at least up to 3.1)
under DOSEMU - if your school allows you to copy it from school.
Basically Borland license does permit such things.
You can write a program which would work equally good under Linux with
gcc and DOS/Windows with Borland C.
Actually I've developed some rather useful programs interchangingly with
GCC and Turbo C 2.0. (And then some guy suggested me to use snprintf
instead of sprintf for better protection from potential exploit)
So, you should have copy of reference manual (On-line help would be
enough) to avoid using library functions which are not available under
DOS/Win.
Other time I've developed Tcl extension under Unix, than copied it to
Win machine and just with few mouse clicks produced a DLL for Windows
with BC 4.5.
Note that Borland C before 4 was particulary picky about end-of-lines
So, you have to run your source through something like todos or unix2dos
(or just sed "s/\$/\r/") before copiing them to windows.
Gcc cares not about DOS style line ending except when you use \
at the end of line for line continuation in #define.

Read NET-2-HOWTO. It is the first thing to do anyway.
Really there are three ranges of IP reserved for things like yours:
10.x.x.x.x
176.16.x.x (I can mistake here)
192.168.x.x
So, pick an arbitrary number in range 0-255, say m
and use addresses
from 192.168.m.1 to 192.168.m.254 for your computers
192.168.m.0 would be your network address and 192.168.m.255 your
broadcast address.
Note, that ppp interface which connects one of your computers to
internet would have totally different IP address - IP addresses are
assigned to interfaces, rather than computers, so if you have three
network cards in one box, it would have at least three IP addresses
(not counting 127.0.0.1)
Only that IP,(which is probably would given to you by your provider
dynamically) would be visible from outside, so you should set up either
IP Masqerading or proxy server to let other computers from network to
get to internet. Really this is not neccessary. If all of them run
linux, you can just always start all network-related apps on one which
physically has connection to internet. It is what X window and rlogin
are for.

I would argue that the IA-32 architecture (which includes 80386, 80486,
"Pentium," "Xeon," AMD K5 and K6, IDT WinChip, and Cyrix) is not likely
to be immediately displaced by Merced, because:
a) Merced is predicted to be *very* expensive and not faster than other
64 bit designs at least in early days;
b) Merced is a proprietary design for which there will be no competition
any time soon. There are no "second sources" for Merced, unlike the
situation with IA-32 where you can buy independently designed CPUs from
as many as five vendors.
Note that the "lack of competition" situation "bites" *all* of the 64
bit architectures out there. There may be multiple chip foundries
building Alphas, for instance, but they're all dependent on a single
group of design engineers at Digital/Compaq.
