What kind of suggestions are you looking for?  A howto?  Caveats?

What I have found is that since winblows thinks it's God's gift to the
PC, it makes it's partition the active one whenever you boot into it.
So the only way to make sure you have a Grub/Lilo menu to start linux
with is either to use the NT bootloader, or put Grub/Lilo on your MBR
/dev/hda (hd0).  I do the second option, and I use Grub.
I wouldn't recommend it as much if you were using Lilo because the
configuration is set before boot, but Grub sort of has a mini OS that
you can recover from misconfiguration with.

Hope that helps :)
