I have an old laptop with far too little RAM to run Linux (including specialty distributions). It can however run Windows 98 just fine, and I'm looking into turning it into a tiny retro webserver.

Is it possible to keep an old operating system webserver from being hacked? All I'm looking for is a simple port 80 static website with no over-the-web administration abilities.

I have no significant experience with security, or exploiting security holes. So I'm not sure where to look. Can a DOS/WIN95/WIN98 box be exploited if all it does is respond to simple HTTP requests?
