So you want to dual boot Suse & XP? Actually Suse uses neither NTFS or FAT32 filesystems. It uses ext3. 18GB is plenty of room.
Like arochester said, yes you can turn it into a webserver.

Actually not only does it not need NTFS, it can't even use it (yet).does linux need ntfs?...or will it recognise fat 32?
It can use it partway, you can read from a NTFS partition but not write to it.Actually not only does it not need NTFS, it can't even use it (yet).
Like I have music files on a NTFS partition and I can listen to them from Linux.
Correct. It can read from NTFS (it can on my laptop), and it can read from and write to Fat32 volumes. But when you install almost any distro, you will format the partition as ext3.
I meant used as in write. It was mis-worded, my apologies.
Good news is that they are making headway in write support, though it isn't ready for production use just yet.
