Windows - Linux Network!

I have 2 computers...one of them is running windows 95 and the other is running red hat linux.

Each of these have one network card...If I want to connect them in a dual network, do I need a HUB, or can I just connect them directly to their corresponding network card using a UTP cable?

you can connect them directly using UTP, But it has to be a crossed wired utp cable though.
