Indeedy, though freedom from reading manuals should be the goal of Linux distributions :-) I've installed many Linux's after all sorts of Windows OS's and never had a problem. As long as you do it after, not before. Even then it's not a biggy, as long as you can boot from the linux cdrom and do a lilo -R install. It's only the NTFS resizing that would be a problem.
