One small point here -
When you partition your disk, create the Windows partition as NTFS, a small (100Mb?) FAT32 'transfer' partition and leave the rest of the disk un-partitioned. The Linux install will use the un-partitioned space to add the EXT3 & Swap linux partitions. Most Linuxes can't write to NTFS & some need a driver to read, but you should be able to read & write to FAT32 from both Windows & Linux
Personally, I have tried ubuntu & Fedora (FC4) and Fedora has stayed, so far.
