When you install Linux on the other drive it will offer to install the Grub Bootloader. That is what you need to install in order to get the boot screen selection
 I am considering trying SUSE myself...but Im aware they are both good Linux Distros.

That's a pretty old version of suse, easily over a year old if not two. If you wnat to go suse, download the most recent version here:
http://en.opensuse.org/Download It's a free download by the way. If not, I'd go with mandriva 2006; it's much more up to date. |

I think you will have better love with the Mandriva install. Suse is good, but as pointed out it is older than Mandriva 06.
