Hi, viniosity.
I've dealt with several distributions that are adept at this. Mandrake, Red Hat and Lycoris come to mind. It's also possible, I believe, to do it with Slackware and probably Debian, but you'll have to go through some tweaking with cfdisk and such in order to make it work right. This is assuming that you don't want to make a new ext3/reiserfs/whatever partition, but want to install Linux onto a Windows partition instead. (NTFS doesn't support this.)
If you do want to make a new ext3/reiserfs/whatever partition, you can use any of the above and they'll work just fine (although I don't think I've done it with Debian). For Slackware (my favorite), after you boot from the installation CD and login as root, just type "cfdisk", or if that gives you problems, type "cfdisk /dev/hdx" (hda, hdb, sda, etc). You'll then have the option to use up any free space on your drive. I hope this helps.
