You are probably best of downloading openSUSE 10.3 because its completely free. You need to pay a subscription fee if you want to use SLED/SLES.

You will most likely want the DVD for openSuSE 10.3. This way you will get the entire CD set in one image, and not have to worry about swapping CDs during installation. You should be able to find a download mirror at http://download.opensuse.org for the DVD image for 10.3.

I don't know if there is a multiple CD set available or not for 10.3. I searched the mirrors and there only appear to be live CD images and those with either KDE or GNOME on them for an X-Windows desktop. You should at least get a base installation with either one of those. Other options would include performing a network install, or copying the files from the DVD image and saving them to a location on your hard drive, and then installing from there.
