The question is how much space should I allow Linux to have? bearing in

will go on the shared part of the drive. [...]
The answer is "it depends". Basically if you allot 10GB to your Linux
distribution that should hold everything you want with room to spare.
Basically anything allotted to your Linux distribution over that 10GB you
could use for user-space storage in your separate /home partition (I am
sure you *will* have a separate /home ;) ).
FWIW, here is my ALL Linux disk layout on my 36GB U320 SCSI drive:
[root@era4 ~]# fdisk -l
Disk /dev/sda: 36.7 GB, 36778545152 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 4471 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes

When I decided to get serious about OSS and Linux I decided to abandon
*and* *do* *without* any software that did not have an OSS equivalent. I
almost succeeded. Happily I found equivalents to all except for two
programs that I could not abandon and can run under WINE. The ones that I
do without are *games* and I don't miss them.
In our business IE6 is used alongside Firefox, Opera and Konqueror to
check web pages we develop for client web sites. Unfortunately as long as
idiots^H^H^H^H^H^H certain end-lusers continue to use Windoze and IE we
will need to keep some version of IE here against which to check our web
development efforts. So far WINE has worked for that. ;)
KeyView for Lotus is used to access our old Lotus WordPro documents that
we need to keep for now. After another year we can get rid of the last of
the Lotus documents and will no longer need KeyView.
