Hi Antonio,
First of all, don't worry about "everything", try to do the things in
order and all will be allright,
i recomend you a lil of reading about linux... there are a lot of sites
that teach you about it, and
be patient because you are going to discover a really big "world". First
of all, try Google with
"linux" word, ok?
You can download ISO's from your prefered distro at
http://linuxacd.com.ar/and you can of
course download the SuSe ISO for the 8.0 of this distro. At the same
time, you can get the
eval ISO too from SuSe but the 8.1 distro (it runs from the CD and you
are free to run both
operating systems without problems...) at
ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/live-eval-8.1/ <ftp://ftp.suse.com>
Download, burn-it-all and enjoy...
See you,
Good luck :-)
