Why are you going with Win95???? You have ME installed now, and your current machine may not be supported by W95. If you're licensed for WinME, I'd stick with that. I don't have any experience with Debian, so I can't speak on that really. My desktop at home is a dual boot WinME/Slackware 8.0. Although, I have had Slackware 7.1 and Mandrake 8.0 on it as well. Load Windows first, partition your drive, then install Linux. Depending upon what distro you're using it's relatively easy. Or rather, can be relatively easy. I use Partition Magic to make my partitions, as I haven't played with fips or other partitioning tools besides fdisk and cfdisk on a bare machine. Good luck! I remember my first Linux install....
