My personal opinin is that the "best" Windows that exists is
Win 3.11. However, it's too much out-of-date. 2.4 gb are pretty good
for win95 and whatever application you want to run under it.
For the debian partition, I suggest you create three
partitions: one for system, one for home and one for swap. The swap
one may be small, something about 128 Mb. The size of the other ones
is up to you, depending on what kind of installation you are planning
to do and what kind of stuff you're gonna store on your home. Maybe
50%-50% would do it for you.

A floppy drive doesn't cost that much and could help you a
lot. You can create a rescue floppy anywhere, but you can't create a
rescue CD anywhere.
