I dual booted. Partitioned my hard drive first before installing Linux. I've also tried installing Ubuntu, Debian, Gentoo and Linux Mint over the same partition, without running into any problems Windows-side. Basically, if you partition your HD, issues from one end won't really spill over to the other, unless it's really the physical hardware that has the problem.

Regarding older systems, they should have supported drivers on Linux, provided that the hardware isn't too old.
