My fault. I mixed it up.

It is. Although I haven't boot Vista for a couple of month. Last time my kids 
wanted to watch a DVD which was copy protected. No chance on linux, but the 
MediaPlayer worked fine. :(

I'm using Arconis True Image in my Windows environment. Therefor I used it also 
for shrinking the Windows partition. So I can't tell you, if OpenSuse is 
trustworthy. But anyway: Making an image of your disk is always a good idea 
before you try something.

I don't know if openSuse is working fine on your Sony VGN_NR21M. Have a look at 
http://tuxmobil.org/sony.html or http://www.linux-on-laptops.com/sony.html to 
find notebooks with similar hardware.

And for a quick test you can download the LiveCD.
