95 is shell built on top of DOS, one of the first PC operating systems for home computers.

2000 is built upon NT, which was a commercial-grade operating system, independent 
of DOS.

95 has some plug-n-play capabilites and user friendliness, although maybe less than 
98 or XP.

2000, like NT, was not really intended for the general public.  Be prepared to learn 
more about the guts of the PC and operating system, if you plan on installing 2000.

In terms of a computer for home use in year 2008, I would not recommned either 95 
or 2000 (nor NT nor ME).  If the hardware is relatively new, think about XP.  If 
the hardware is older, think about 98SE.

But, do your homework.  Some hardware and programs now require a minimum of XP.  
As time goes on, support for 98 will fade faster than support for XP.  Of course, 
support for 95 is already vanishing fast.
