RE: Installing Linux in free space
You can't convert a primary partition into a logical one. You will have to make a backup of the DATA volume, delete it, then create the logical partition to host the new DATA and the Linux volumes.
Another problem you may encounter, is that many BIOS's cannot boot from volumes after a certain cylinder number, I had the same problem. To overcome this, create a 30 MB volume at the very beginning of the drive, and format this volume as /boot when you install Linux. That will give you more than enough room for the bootloader, but again it needs its own volume (and it has to be a primary)
