I have heard that Windows will wipe out the boot info for Linux if you
install Windows on a box that already has Linux installed.
For that reason, I've only set up dual boot systems by having the
Windows OS installed first.


Usually windoze does that.. it's very rare , but sometimes it doesnt wipe the linux boot loader.. (it happened to my only once)
In my computer , I install linux first , creating all the partitions (the big FAT partitions I create as ext3 and later I use partition magic to delete them and create them as fat, because linux doesnt like to create big FAT partitions [specially above 10Gb]). then I install windoze and later I use the install cd to go on rescue mode to reinstall the boot loader...
