Not sure if this is the correct place in the forum to post this but figured it was closer to what i want than the others.

I just installed opensuse11.4 from a livecd and would like to know how to change between the distros.
Not sure if I worded that right seeing as i am not 100 percent clear what a distro is. This is my first day ever on linux.

I think it would worthwhile for you to read this guide:

Concepts - openSUSE

KDE and Gnome are graphical desktop environments. This guide (written for openSUSE 11) will show you how to use the YaST package manager to install a new desktop environment:

screw this i think i am just going to do a dvd iso install instead of a livecd install. I cant do anything and its really frustrating! I cant even perform as simple a task as getting vuze or pandora desktop to install properly
