The mainstream Linux installation is beggining with spending a lot time on burning ISO to USB pendrive. I’d like to boot from a MinimalCD (or USB), and install ISO at local drive, booting and setting openSUSE NETwork image can get this done, how to do the same for other Linux distro?
That really would be a question for the makers of the other Linux distros you’re interested in. The openSUSE network install images are for openSUSE distributions, not for other distributions - and are actually specific to the openSUSE distributions the network install images is made for.

I do very little burning to any media. Once I have the first installation on a system, done via a NET installation image, all subsequent are done by merely downloading installation kernel and initrd for the the selected distro’s installation, and loading them using the already installed Grub. That’s on average 20 or more installations that involve only two modest files in advance of starting installation for each performed via downloaded “installation media”. The grub-initialized installation proceeds in the same way as a normal NET installation - it’s just started a bit differently, and to me, more simply. I don’t have to locate and fumble with discs or sticks or checksumming isos.

If you want to try other distro’s, try Virtualization:
That way you do not have to “burn” a USB at all.
