If you partition, you can dual boot. Look up how to partition a hard drive, and look up what format that hard drive has to be for a Linux OS (likely FAT32, as I wouldn't suggest FAT16), and then look up formatting a hard drive. They're mostly easy processes.
After that, burn a CD of the distro you want, and then look up the information required to install said distro.
I'm personally looking into Ubuntu myself atm. All I really need is the CD to burn the OS to so that I can install. >.>

Note the disclaimer of 10 weeks. I can wait 5 weeks for when I have access to a CD.

Yes. Have a look around.
Most of this stuff is documented. :)

Most Linux distributions support read/write on NTFS these days (at least any that runs a somewhat recent kernel). And even if the latter isn't true, the great thing about Linux is that you can just recompile the kernel to your liking (to make it work). There are also drivers like
ntfs-3g
that don't even require a kernel recompile (provided your kernel has been loaded/compiled with FUSE support).
