I have now successfully installed SuSE 10 on my laptop, having first taken a Ghost image of the working XP installation. It installed really easily, and did not need a lot of work to make it a happy place to live. Getting the Rockbox development environment up and running took a little longer, but once I had learnt enough for the instructions to make sense, it was pretty straitforward. I still think I have a minor issue with missing folders in the $PATH statment, but it's getting there.
On the other hand, I installed Debian 3.1 (Sarge) into a spare partition on my desktop PC. Simply working out how to get KDE to start rather than the Gnome default took some time (It's actually a menu option on the logon screen!), and configuring the video display to better that 800x600 was a major job for "Google Man". It is just about sorted now, although I do need to get the Wacom drivers sorted so that my graphics tablet works correctly. Once that's done, I will start doing the Rockbox development install.
I have about 30 to 40 GB disk space for both installions, so space should not be a problem...
