Debian installation on a laptop

[Chris Presley]

Hi. I new to Linux and I want to install Debian on my laptop and do a "dual boot" between debian and Win 95. I am hoping that someone can answer a few questions for me..... 1) Is debian compatible with a Toshiba 430CDS laptop (its a P120, with CD ROM, 1.3 gig hard drive, and 16 megs of ram) 2)How much space should I partition for debian? 3)Can anyone suggest some good reading so that I can quickly learn debian?   Thank you   Chris.
