Another option is the Evergreen project for Opensuse. It provides infinite community mirror support for 11.1 to 11.4 so you don't have to keep upgrading your system with a reinstall of the latest OS to get security updates and bug fixes. Instructions are at their website for setting up repos and the prior OS's are there too.

I have a quad boot system with XP, Vista, Suse and Ubuntu.
