WINS server

A couple of questions if you please, but first some background.

I am setting up a Linux/Samba server for our WIN95 workstations 
which currently access a Netware server. Furthermore, our whole 
campus net is flat, no subnets. I want to integrate the new server 
into the network without taking the old Netware server offline 
until all of the bugs are worked out.

1) Are there any potential problems I need to be aware of by having the 
   Win95 workstations access both servers?

2) Can I enable WINS service on the Linux/Samba server and tell 
   the Win95 boxes to access that server? Since our campus net is 
   flat, there are other WINS servers out there, but none are accessed 
   by our Win95 boxes.

Thanks,

Carey
