RE: dual booting
You can't really mess up the computer by attempting to dual boot, so don't worry about that. :mdr:  I agree with Draggy, when I set up a multi-boot system, I recommend that you install linux last.  Even though Vista has its own bootloader, capable of starting linux, I find that Grub and Lilo (linux bootloaders) both work better at automatically configuring the system.  
One more thing I'd recommend is don't freak out if something doesn't seem to work.  I know that a lot of people (myself included) were very stressed out when getting the hang of dual booting, but since you're using a new computer, don't worry, you have nothing to lose. :)
