Actually it IS pretty simple under Mandrake, but it is worth reading up on it first - and worth taking a backup of your files first. Mandrake uses a pretty good wizard to help you through this and you should be able to select the defaults, but there is an "Expert" mode if you want a bit more control.

Also, I remember someone saying that a boot loader would be installed, Is there a way so that there is just a brief pause to choose booting into linux before it boots into xp so that there is not a greater amount of time added on to my reboot time?

Mandrake uses Grub by default, although LILO is also available. Both of these allow full control over which system you want to boot into and will permit a default together with a selectable time-out.
Good luck and have a lot of fun - I did and still do.
