In your previous installs you have allocated too much space for Linux. I would try the other way around: 6GB for Linux and the rest for your stuff.

i know, but which partition is linux installed at? ext2 or ext3?

ext2 and 3 are filesystems, not partitions. Which distro are you going with? Many of them will autopartition for you - all you need to do is create some free space.
