If you’re just starting out with Linux, using SUSE Linux 10.0 is a bad idea because it went End Of Life a little over five years ago. Only the masochistic and those with very specific requirements use versions of Linux that far past the end of support.
I advise you head over to http://openSUSE.org and grab yourself the latest version of that. The support forums are at http://forums.opensuse.org and there’s lots of friendly folk there to help you out.
SUSE Linux was re-branded as openSUSE at version 10.2. It’s the a free version of Linux upon which SUSE Linux Enterprise Desktop is based. SLED is free to download but requires a license to obtain updates.
