Yes if you have it in the drive. It's the first place it looks.
To be more correct, it depends on what you have set up as software repositories. By default the CD is there as a final resort of Internet repositories are unavailable.
You can even create a local repository if you so desire on a local network and manage what versions are in it. If say your company has an n-1 policy for software versions then this is the easiest way of manageing it.

This thread went a bit off topic. Here is some info on the Acer Aspire One - known as AA1.

Acer Aspire One - openSUSE
If you do a bit of reading you will find out that many of these netbooks are quite poorly supported still in standard Linux distributions, unless it's just a laptop thing. Many have wifi, audio and webcam driver issues. Most of these can be worked around and if you decide to install a full blown Linux distro then there is a lot of info out there. I have been finding about my Samsung NC10 which I intend dual booting with windows XP and some flavour of Linux, probably Ubuntu as there appears to be most support for the NC10's at the moment. I can not manage without windows so it will have to stay.
