It's totally different than it was five years ago assuming you just want to try the latest test kernel. http://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Kernel_of_the_day I advise following the step(s) under: Testing Kernel of the Day That way the old kernel should be left in place and you can always boot back into it.

You can also install multiple kernel versions with YaST, which uses a newer feature in zypper.
