I am not sure what these people need to do in your situation.

You can install a Linux server that accepts logins from the network by means of ssh. If sshd is running (and configured properly), all you need is an ssh client on the Windows boxes. Putty is a very decent, free ssh client. On the Putty website (Google first hit, last time I tried), you will also find some programs that enable file copying over the network. Putty looks to the uneducated user like a DOS-box. If you need graphical programs, I can't help you other than to say it's possible. Have a look at the HOWTOs wrt to X Window System and remote applications. For this to work, you will need to spend a reasonable amount of time and effort to configure the Windows systems. I snipped your Samba question, but unless you want to share files using Windows network drives, you won't need Samba. If at all possible I would dedicate a box to Linux. Remote dual booting should be possible, but I don't think it will be practical and might require a lot of effort, while install "Linux+sshd+ssh windows clients" is possible within the hour.
