You can take a look at this:
http://www.geocities...-w2k-HOWTO.html
or, you can create a new linux freindly partition (an ext partition, for example) and a small swap partition...most linux distros will recognize the partition and install accordingly.
Might I suggest for your first install that you try either ubuntu or knoppix? They both have user freindly installers for dual booting, and are debian distros.
Ubuntu
Knoppix
The two distros you've named are fantastic, for the most part...I'm simply suggesting that one of these two may be a little easier for the first install.

Ok thx guys. Your links were really useful. From what I've read,Ubuntu seems to be the hot fav. right now. Maybe i'll get both Ubuntu and SUSE and then decide which i want to use.
