When researching online I saw that most Linux
tutorials/forums/recommendations are to install XP first, then Linux.

Actually, I'm sure the majority of Linux recommendations would be to
install XP never.

The best is to put them on separate HDs and use a boot manager to allow
you to choose which disk to boot from. That way when XP takes out your HD
it won't bring down the Linux installation too.
