Actually I was hoping for a dual boot RH and Suse.
I was figuring a separate /boot / /home and common /swap between them.
Its a 40 gig drive and Grub as boot loader.

How should the drive be partitioned to handle the multiple distro boot?
There are several methods to do this, a more specified question would have been better. But in short if you only got one harddisk you can choose to have one primary partition an extended one, there you can make several logical slices where you can install Linux. Here's an example from my laptop partition table: /dev/hda1 103,3 MB /boot (SuSE, ext3) Primary /dev/hda2 6 GB /W2k (NTFS) Primary Primary extended: /dev/hda5 4 GB / (SuSE, ext3) Logical /dev/hda6 3 GB /store (My files, ext3) Logical /dev/hda7 1 GB swap (shared) Logical /dev/hda8 4 GB / (Other Linux, ext3) Logical
GRUB or LILO?
That is a matter of taste, the choice is yours. If you are new to both perhaps you should use (and learn) Grub which is the one that probably will rule out Lilo sonner or later.
