Linux 64

[JoNo216]

ok. Keep in mind I am a complete noob when it comes to linux. I got a 3200+ AMD 64. and I don't want to wait around for windows XP 64. Plus I really would like to try linux.
I was looking into Suse i heard it is the most stable around and blah blah blah....
Also I have a 200gig hard drive and was thinking about the particion. I was thinking like 30 gig for XP. 30 gig for Suse, 2 gig of SWAP for linux and the rest for apps games downloads. Does Suse even recongize NTFS because my freind tried a version of red hat and it didn't recognize NTFS. I want to be able to use the drive for both OSs. Does this stuff sound good?
For for such stupid questions....

at least for the hard drives, format them with fat32. linux can read ntfs but cannot write it.

The Linux kernel can read NTFS and there's write support that only occassionally corrupts the filesystem.

Whatever you install Linux on is going to have to be a Linux native partition (EXT2, EXT3, Reiser, etc...)

2 gig swap?
