That's how most of us who have migrated from Windows to Linux started
out.  In my case, I removed Windows altogether from my machines after
around three months, but it is nice to have the dual boot option for
as long as one wants or needs it.

Some Linux distributions are easier than others to install on machines
with Windows already installed in a dual boot configuration, SuSE
(now owned by Novell) being particularly simple in this regard.
Just boot from installation media and follow the prompts (but, as
best practice, back up existing data first).

If you want to see if your existing hardware is supported, download
the Live CD and boot from that.  See " SUSE LINUX Professional 9.3
Live version" at:
