Oh, but there is.
Okay, so, I am still a linux newbie
No problem
I am trying to install another distro
And here is the easy answer: Don't.
Seriously, stick with one distribution, till you have masterd that.
Having more then one distribution will confuse you. And unless you are a
more experienced user AND are into developing distributions/software,
there is no real need.
Obviously several people will cry fault when I say that, because they
have masterd to have 27, or so, distributions installed on their 286.
But best is to learn one distribution good and then you will know what
to do and what is what. This will make learning the second distribution
a lot more likable and enjoyable.
Wether this distribution is openSUSE or something else is irrelevant.
Should you look at other distributions? Absolutely, but not if you are a
newbie. Concentrate on learning a lot more and then go with another,
learn that. Also at least give a distribution 2 months of your time,
menaing no dualbooting into anything else and then see how it goes.
So, yes, there is an easy answer, but knowing human nature, you won't
like the answer and go ahead and try out many more distributions and as
a result take much more time to learn Linux.
