Setting up dual booting with Ubuntu was fairly easy, for me. When you get to
the point in the install that you're asked about drive partitioning, simply
choose to install in the largest free space, rather than taking up the
entire drive. Assuming, of course, that when you installed windows you left
space for Linux.
