Linux is much happier to live with 'doze than the reverse, so 'doze first.
How techy do you want to get, early on? As a 'doze refugee last year I
just wanted to start using linux without needing much understanding, at
least at first. I found that suse, which was the only distro I tried,
installed very happily with no intervention from me, in a dual boot
configuration. This surprised me a lot at the time because I had
expected it to wipe and do a clean install (on a discarded drive I had
on the shelf) and I had not expected an alien OS to be so considerate.......
It was my first experience of the open source movement :-)
Subsequently I was more careful. If a drive had an existing 'doze
installation, I error checked and defragged carefully first, and backed
up data. Then installed suse out of the box. I have had no problems on a
number of installs.
