Hi Ivanca -

You should be able to install Fedora on a 120GB drive with Windows XP no
problem.  Have a look at http://lwn.net/Articles/86835/ for a problem
that happens to some users who try to dual-boot.

You should really read the docs at http://fedora.redhat.com/ and
http://www.fedorafaq.org/ for good info on getting Fedora up and
running.

As far as applications, there are a TON of them - you should look at
http://freshmeat.net/ and http://sourceforge.net/ to get started.

Welcome to Linux!  You're going to have a lot of fun!
