You will need webserver running (Apache?) on Linux server that shows a page that 
has a link to the pdf file that you created.

Alternatively you can use SimpleHTTPServer module or Twisted to make a more 
stripped down webserver but it is probably easier just to use Apache.

You didn't say if the Linux server was local or not.  If local, you could use 
SAMBA to create a SMB share and have the XP PC get to it that way.  There are 
other ways, but these should get you started.
