Default My Newbie Journey To A Tri-Boot Redhat System

I'm going to try and setup a redhat server over here, my main goal is to have the system boot WinME, Win2K, and Redhat. Now I have never really used Linux before (Tried Mandrake once) so I have absolutely no idea what I'm doing....and since I don't know much about programming, apparently it may be a little harder for me.

So I just felt that I would take you guys on the journey with me, let you know what I'm doing, and if at that step there are any tips/hints you can give me, that'd be awesome!

So anyways, where I'm at right now, I'm actually downloading the ISO's for Redhat 7.1. CD 1 finished last night, CD 2 should be finished sometime today around 2:30PM EST or so. Once I'm done that I'll throw em onto 2 CD's and try for the install.

Now one thing, if anybody has actually installed Linux to run with Windows, I would appreciate your help as to how to get everything running. I already know now not to do the auto partition (I will be installing in server mode.....or should I do custom mode?) otherwise it will override the MBR. So what do you recommend?

Also, in terms of partitions.....Right now there are 2 (one for Win2k, one for WinME), how do you recommend setting that up, and how much space to set aside?

Remember, I'm trying to build a webserver here.

Any help from you Linux guru's would be one step beyond awesome
