Just want to add a few words out of experience:

1) Install GRUB on the MBR . You will find it very very good. The only 
case in which you might run into "problems" is if you wipe out the Linux 
boot partition. In this case a normal windows bootable floppy with the 
fdisk command on it will put you back from where you stared (fdisk /mbr) 
and give you back your beloved XP loader.

2) Partition Magic. From times to times this program will unexpectedly 
destroy your partitions (especially the ext2/3) while resizing. Be extra 
cautious and backup before performing.

HTH
