I've decided to jump into Linux and am downloading the Mandrake 8.0 .iso files as I type. My question is the best place to install it. I'm putting it in a box that presently has 2-20.5 gig drives striped raid 0. Will the install proggie let me specify a set amount (say 5gb) of this space (part of the 40+gig) for Linux? -or- would I be MUCH better off adding another hdd exclusively for the Linux install?

-- the "other" os is winMe
