erm, if its a normal x86 PC then no problems should arise from
installing windows or another Linux. Having it preloaded with SuSE
is virtually the same (and as annoying) as having a computer come
pre-loaded with Windows or Debian or zeroes :).
However! To install the additional OS'es would require you to wipe
your exisiting SuSE install or otherwise find a partition resizer that
can handle ext2/3 filesystems.
^ That's assuming all availiable disk space is given to SuSE, as i
would expect in this case.
