What linux distro are you planning to use? Most popular distros will partition, install, and setup the dual boot mostly automatic from their install cd.

I have not used Suse but understand it is a fine distro. If you purchase Suse you will receive installation help and documentation.
Here is a straight forward link explaining how to install Mandrake linux. This will give you an idea of what goes on. By the way, the current version of Mandrake is free to download. Suse install would be similiar in many respects although I could not find much info online as yet.

GO FOR SUSE

Suse is great distro...

good documentation and very user friendly (useful for newbies).

I use SUSE 9.1 PRO and it is very very stable.... no need to
use command line for simple tasks

greetings....
