You can bet a working Linux system, complete with X, with that small of a drive, but you have to be carefull what you install. You may want to pick a different Window manager instead of the default KDE. You do not say what modle you have, so we can not tell you if there are any specific things to watch out for with your laptop. My experence with Toshiba laptops is limmited to installing RadHad on a 400CDT. It worked, but X on 640 x 480 can be a chalange...
