No... you should not post Ubuntu questions here. Having said that, I
will
still try to help you... cause I'm a geek hacker and I love Ubuntu... and I'm
currently angry at navell for climbing into bed with M$... but that's another
story.

then if
this silly snafu between navell and M$ doesn't work out... you can drop Suse
also.....

My Ubuntu "disk" in a DVD... contains the full version of 6.06 LTS and
is
contained on one (1) disk... very convenient... the Ubuntu folks will mail
you a disk, or if you want you can purchase Sam's Ubuntu Unleashed and get
the disk in the back cover... I recommend this for Ubuntu newbies because I
think Andrew Hudson and Paul Hudson have done an outstanding job with the
book... neither here nor there... I am going to assume (perhaps wrongly) that
only one of the CDs you have is "bootable"? Having said that... I must admit
that I have never seen a CD set for Ubuntu... only the DVD.

No....
Never, and I mean never, experiment with a production or critical
system.
*never*
Having said that... it probably isn't going to hurt you... but remember
what
I said... *never*.
