Yes. Doing so isn't particularly difficult, and most Linux installation discs can guide you through the process.

Which should be installed first windows or Linux and why?

I cannot tell you which SHOULD come first. In my case, I installed XP first, and Vista second - because following Vista with an XP installation destroys the boot loader. XP will not detect Vista or offer a dualboot option. Similarly, following this dual boot with a Linux installation will install a 'lilo' or 'grub'. Grub is becoming the most popular boot loader, and installing it last will ensure that you can boot all of the current operating systems. Grub is extremely user friendly, and can be modified simply by editing the text file.

Where you can find a Linux Distribution?

Linux is not an operating system by itself. Just like you cannot install Windows you have to install Windows XP or Windows Vista. You can use the website in related links to find a list of active Linux Distributions. If I could recommend one I would recommend Linux Mint because it is easy to use.


What is the name of kernel in Unix Linux and Windows Vista?

As Unix isn't any particular operating system, there is no distinct name for the kernel. Different versions of Unix may have vastly different kernel structures. The Linux kernel is called, well, the Linux kernel. The Vista kernel is a continuation of the "NT kernel" designed for Windows NT 3.1.
