Re: Installing Linux as a second operating system
I'd recommend using Ubuntu (Ubuntu Home Page | Ubuntu)

Download and run the live cd, and there is a full graphic installer, walks you through partitioning, and the whole job, any problems post back here.

I currently use Ubuntu and I highly recommend it as well, it is very user friendly and the community has always been responsive to my needs.
