Yes, you can install both. Doesn't matter which one you install first, it's up to you. If you want more info, you'll need to tell us..

See Here for how I set up Kubuntu and Fedora to dual boot.

If you want to share your data between the two distros, each distro will need it's own /home, but you can create a separate partition for data (Mount to /mnt/data, and link to /home/user/documents)

As Nylex said, install either distro and then install the other. With the first one that you install, you will need to set up the partitions.

My partition table is:
Code:
/data	100GB 	 ext3	Data partition, common for all distros
swap	2GB	 swap	Swap Partition, common for all distros
/	20 GB   ext3   Root partition for Kubuntu
/	20 GB   ext3   Root partition for Fedora
Free    60 GB           For other distros, if I want to install some others.
