If you use Mandrake, and more than likely Red Hat, it will have a nondestructive repartitioner that will allow you to repartition your drive, leaving X space for windows still formatted NTFS and Y space for linux formatted in your file system of choice, (ext3, reiserfs...).

And I wouldn't reccomend Debian as a first install

It is a text install that really isn't overly difficult if you understand everything that is happening, but is very overwhelming if you dont.
