Is it as easy as putting in the CD and running SuSE and updating stuff,
No, not as easy as that.
or do I have to remove partitions, re-add them and start fresh? Any papers written up on switching distros like this?
But not as hard as that either. When you install SuSE, you can reuse the partitions of RedHat. First you tell Yast to read the fstab then simply choose to format the partitions. This way you have the same partition setup as in redhat. If you had a /home partition, you should not format that. Just create users with the same name as in RedHat, and all the personalized configurations for programs will be kept. You might also try to keep /usr/local if that is a partition. Good luck.
