The quick answer to that is *yes*. You can, using GRUB, set up as many
booting OSes as you like.
If you need to install it to an existing drive with no free partitions, then
you'll need to repartition that drive. There are ways of doing this under
Linux, but I would not recommend this approach for a neophyte. "Partition
Magic" under Windows apparently recognizes Linux partitions, but I have had
no experience using it. Besides, I usually partition my drives right the
first time! :-)
Partition Magic (aka PQMagic) does not support ext3 filesystems, so you
need to downgrade them to ext2 before resizing with it. PQMagic will no
longer be updated, since it was bought out by Symantec and their tech
merged into Ghost, so other tools are the better bet now. Other tools,
like the elsewhere-mentioned PartEd, don't share this limitation. I
believe the current version of Ghost will handle ext3, but I haven't
used it.
FC4 at least uses LVM by default and that's a whole different ball game.
