This is off-topic, but if I installed Linux onto my PC, would I have to get rid of my Windows XP Pro or would I be able to select which OS to us on start up?

Yeah, you can select which OS you want to use.

You can do so with a linux boot loader. Most distors have boot loader config in the setup. But you basically configure grub or lilo and then when you boot linux will startup (well the boot loader) and give you a list of oss to boot into, you just pick one.
