    You can strip down your linux system so far as you wan't (and the time
    you have). Windows is far more complex, specially windows 2000. With
    windows nt you can make a nice bastion, but if you plan to use iis
    you'll need com+ and all that very awfull things

    Anyway, bad administration is the base of every incident.
