I already made a windows partition via bootcamp... now how do I resize leopards partition so i can make a linux partition?
 
I have yet to hear a clear easy way to tri-boot a mac. My info might be outdated tho.

Im sure its doable, but my impression is that its not easy.

Why wouldn't it be? Just hold down option key and it will let you pick the partition...

It's actually quite easy, at least with rEFIt. I used it to tri boot SuSE, XP, and Leopard without any issues.

To the other question, Grab the corner of the partition, you should be able to drag it to whatever size you want.
 
Check out BootPicker (see my sig) - I have not got Linux set up yet, and dual boot for now, but BP is a very nice interface to start up with.

Linux runs very well with VMware. Why not go that way and avoid having to re-boot? For that matter Windows runs well inside VMware except if you are running games
