I have an IBM T30 model 2366 (no extension) and the hard drive died. It was running XP Pro. I’ve ordered a new hard drive for it and intend to load openSUSE 11.3. My question is do I have to have any operating system on the machine before loading Linux? I’m a newbie to Linux so I apologize if this is a stupid question…
TIA
not stupid…just inexperienced…
you can install openSUSE (or any other Linux i know of) on a
completely empty hard drive…

What if there were no hypothetical questions?
