You could run Virtual PC or something like that but EWWW it would be slow

or setup VPS software to load both.

or something like WINE to load windows applications in Linux.

But if you don't have experience in this, it would be best to just keep them on seperate servers.

Also, a dual boot can be used to load either OS on the same server, but only one can be running at a time. If it's just used for you, I guess it could work, but if there's other clients it would be very tricky.

Okay then if I choose two server, with different os. How about the connection? I must get new leased line? Or just using router/switch?

How about the IP, i need to get 2 fixed ip from telco too?

Virtual PC is an emulation program, and certainly not recommended for this type of use.

VMWare is multiplexing monitor system, and probably what you're looking for.
