If you want to install Linux on your desktop without having to wipe everything from the hard disk then get yourself the latest copy of Partition Magic. It allows you to resize partitions to whatever you want.
As for your laptop, a 10Gb HD might struggle a bit with both XP and Linux on it. For instance a full installation of Slackware 10 could go as high as 2Gb. I think you need anything up to 3GB for XP so that might not leave much room for other stuff (depending on what you use it for).
If you do decide to install Linux on your laptop then stick the first CD in and boot from that. At some point you should be able to type in the command 'cfdisk', which will allow you to create almost whatever partitions you want. For a dual boot you'll need two each OS will need a primary bootable partition.
Can't say I've ever heard of JUS Linux, but if you do a search using Google you might be able to find some installation instructions for the OS.
Post again if you want more help.
