I would *strongly* recommend that you start from scratch and reinstall OS X rather than resize a partition. It's easy to do and you'll learn a little about installing OS X in the process! Make sure that you create one or two or three partitions before the OS X partition so that you can install however many Linuxes as you wish. Each partition should be at least 6 GB in size to allow for basic everyday operations. Depending on how much you plan to do with OS X, I'd recommend between 10 to 30 GB for OS X to allow for growth in such things as an iPhoto photo library or an iTunes music collection, or some video editing. The other partitions should generally be at least 4 GB to keep from running out of room too quickly (though, you probably already know that ;-).
