Of course there's a way to do it! Do some googling on Linux Dual Boot Tutorials, etc. 
It's just a matter of setting your partitions up properly and lilo or grub boot manager. It's pretty simple if you follow the documentation, of which you'll find hundreds of tutorials around google.

Will this slow down my computer at all too? I'm thinking of course it will because a whole other operating system will be stored on my PC. I'm new to this, and I'm trying to learn more about computers and such. Thanks again everyone!

Slower
it wont be any slower except for the time it takes to tell your pc which one you want to boot. the hard drive gets set up like it has two drives, one for each operating system. so it wont affect the speed, but of course you will have less space for each one b/c they will be sharing it.

Why don't you upgrade to 7.04?

I might, but at the time the 'long term service' pulled me into 6.06, since I had been having so many problems with XP Home, I thought having the 3 years of customer support would be best for me.
That's correct.
For example, if you set the partition smack in the middle, you'd have half of the drive for each operating system.
