I'm itching to get my feet wet in Linux, but the bux for a separate machine

just ain't happening. I went to LinuxISO and read that SUSE has a feature

that will automagically partition your drive for you, and let you boot into

either Suse or Winblows.

I went to Suse's site, and their YAST tool screen shot seems

impressive. They are also supposed to have an Eval version that will run

from CD, although I haven't located it yet.

My questions are:

1. Has anyone heard anything about the partioner - any bad experiences? At

this point, I'm still married to big bill, and if anything happens to my

Windows setup, I am beyond screwed.

2. Has anyone heard, or better yet, used Suse? How does it compare to

RedHat? I was all hot and bothered to try RH9, but it doesn't seem to have

compariable dual boot/eval capabilities. Thanks!
