It's a good, solid, well engineered, polished distro. It's good for beginners 
because it's very well documented. The deciding factors that influenced me 
when I chose SuSE 7.2 as my first distro were:

(a) I could buy the distro in a box from a local retailer with CDs, 2 printed 
manuals, and 90 days installation support. 

It's still possible to buy a box via the internet, with a DVD, 1 printed 
manual, and 90 day installation support.

(b) The distro comes with electronic copies of manuals, including:

The openSUSE Start Up Guide
KDE and Gnome Quick Start Guides
The openSUSE Reference Guide
The KDE Guide

These are available in many languages, and are an excellent source of 
information and education about the openSUSE distro.

The above documentation is supplemented by the openSUSE website 
(http://en.opensuse.org).
