Linux- my favorite os.
The Caldera release has a WABI built into it.
I have no experience with it, but have friends who
use it to run MS office apps.
I would try that before NT, because of stabilty
( and prejudice ).
I have never lost data to Linux failure.
NT is better than 98 for stability. Mine still blue
screens once or twice a month. I have lost one
drive ( totally not recoverable ) in 6 months of
hard use.
FWIW,

My friends at Microsoft tell me NT 4 service
pack 4 should NOT be used.
I do not have any details as to what it breaks yet.
