I install NT on the first partition, but do the partition and with linux, put linux on the boot partition not on the MBR. See http://www.cse.unsw.edu.au/~zebee/laptop.html It's my full description of how to do it. it's based on RedHat 5.2 but if you use 6.1 in expert mode you'll get fdisk. Other distributions you are on your own, but the theory should be the same. It has a few UNSW specifics, but the basic setup will work for anyone.
