I think this is a great idea! SuSE Linux has an 'automated' installation that automagically finds the free slice on the disk, then configures the minimum Linux partitions for installation before proceeding with the rest of the installation. I don't know about the other Linuxen as I've only 'experimented' with SuSE before settling on FreeBSD.
