| I used Suse8.0 and Mandrake 8.0, both were very stable and good to use. But
being a newbie I found alot of the Suse support info in German. I can read
nor write a thing in German. If I were better in German I wouldnt have
switched to Mandrake.
But If can have both... How do I do that?
I also use win 98... some old habits are now vices.

I'm looking to step bravely into the world of linux for the first time, and
SuSE looks quite nice. Anyone have any suggestions either way?
Thanks

Fairly easily. One way is to have a small /boot partition. Then
install Mandrake and SuSE into different partitions (or partition
sets), and set up lilo or grub to let you choose which root partition
to use during the boot process. You can almost certainly use the same
partition for /home; you'll want different partitions for / and /usr,
and quite possibly /var. (Of course, if you don't use separate /usr
and /var partitions, but just have them as part of the / partition,
that makes it simpler.)
