A few years ago the entire Suse 7 including dev files was only 6G.
What you need now are 3 partitions, root home and swap.
For / (root) use about 15G (it wont fill this but has room for expansion)
Reason I say this is I have a very full Ubuntu which uses just 9G including development files.
For /swap it depends on physical RAM, in the days of kernel 2.2 the rule of thumb was 2xyour physical RAM but these days you can generally leave about 1 or 2Meg or space for the /swap partition.
For /home you can make as large as you want, if you store movies, pictures etc make
it 50G or more.
As a file system chose either ext3, ext4 or resiser. The Suse Forum will possibly also have recommendations.
