This is not true.  You can.  When I first came to Japan I was very 
uncomfortable with Japanese, but had to use it for somethings, so
I did install both English and Japanese versions on the same machine.
I have since become more comfortable using Japanese and only
use Japanese windows now so I do no longer have my set-up as such.
Also, I really have forgotten how to do it.  But luckily for you
I kept a hard copy of the web page and I just checked it out and it
is still at:

http://www.phon.ox.ac.uk/~andy/japanese/win95eng-jap_faq.html

Basically, you will have to follow a certain order when installing both
of the systems and when you want to go from one to the other you will
have to run a short batch file and re-boot. Also,
this document doesn't directly address 
using Linux, but I think once you get the windows part working, it 
shouldn't be too hard to get lilo working with linux.  

Good luck.

Rob
