Not sure why you are expecting either of them to go wrong ?  :)

At the moment you have W98 and SuSE installed on separate partitions. 
You will have to delete the W98 partition to turn it into free space for 
the Ubuntu installation.  So long as there is enough diskspace for the 
Ubuntu install then there should be no reason for either distro not to work.
