If you haven't bought the box-set of SuSE pro, then consider getting it.  It
comes with two very good manuals (100's of pages) which do a very good
job of introducing Linux, SuSE and a lot of the tools.  I'd hold off
getting it for a little while though as SuSE 10 should be out soon-ish.
It's only about 45 or 50 quid as I remember, and you get the manuals, some
installation support, DVD & CD Install media etc.
