It's probably easier to do it the other way around: leave
Win95 on the first hard drive and install linux on the
second.  Linux really doesn't care where you put it, but
Windows will insist on booting from a primary partition on
the first physical drive (a Microsoft "feature" no doubt). 
There are ways around this, but as long as you have the
choice, why do it the hard way?
