David, be careful how you delete Vista, if you do. I made the mistake of simply deleting the partition and had to do some magical ms incantations to get my hd to come back up and be recognized. It had to do with the way they label the drives with vista. Dont remember all the details as I did it a year ago. Next time I'll simply make that partition very small and repartition the rest for Linux.
If you're REMOVING Vista (rather than dual-boot), the none of that matters, as you can simply have the new SuSE install just overwrite the the MBR and the partition table.
