Installing a Linux distro on a partition?

    I have XP:pro and 1 hard drive with 3 individual partitions -
    1. 48.8 GB
    2. Un-formatted
    3. 15.0 GB Compressed (For File Storage)

    I want to use the un-formatted partition for the Linux install and basically have my system be a dual-boot. I'm thinking of using either SUSE or Ubuntu.

    Anyway, I won't bother asking for any gory details about how to do all this, but if you could, would you mind providing me with a decent tutorial or website that focuses on this sort of thing? One that you know is good and not just some random Google search result? Hell, if you even know of a good book that would be easy for a new guy like me to follow, that would be appreciated, too.
