Should I use FAT file system or NTFS for Suse Linux? Will the installer partition my hard drive for me or do I need to?

The installer will suggest you a patition plan. NTFS wont work. You should go with fat32 if you plan to dual boot since you will be able to access the files from both Linux and Windows.
Look on openSUSE forum and you will get a lot more answers and a lot of how to for everything.
Good luck
reserfs or ext3, for suse I think.
if u r dual booting then you will need to set up a separate partn for windoze first (and install it) using something like gparted bootcd.
if you are just puttink linux on hd (no other os) then yes it will partition it for you. basic setup is root and swap. a smart option is root, home and swap.
home is like ‘documents and settings’ folder in windows. Having a separate partition for it means that you can reinstall linux at aty time and retain all of your files and application/desktop settings.
