Unless you REALLY need RH9 I'd advise you to get a more recent Linux distribution. Of the distributions I've used I prefer Ubuntu (or a variant like Kubuntu/Xubuntu/PickALetterUbuntu)

Installing a modern distribution it with Windows is usually as easy as selecting the partition you opened for it, and the installation will do the rest. Remember though:
BACKUP FIRST
even if you are not installing another OS, it's still a good idea. A few DVDs are cheaper than the annoyance of losing valuable data. It's never too soon to backup!
