I am new at the Linux world and I installed Suse 10.1 beta 3 yesterday.
Everything installed OK.

Welcome to the club !

I used YaST in order to add more users to my system, enable the
"Suspend to RAM" ACPI features, configure my sound card and add some
packages into my default installation.

Common steps if you are setting up a new environment.

One more time I launched YaST and it started to eat memory (all my
physical memory and all my swap space) and then died. Since that
moment, I am not able to start YaST nor get logged in on user mode on
KDE desktop neither.

At this point there are some major information missing (Amount of RAM,
size of swap, ...)

Is there something I am doing wrong? It's a well known beta 3 bug?
There is some workaround to avoid this problem?

The steps you did show at least some experience in setting up computers,
so you seem not to new to computers at all.

But I don't think you should use a beta to get in touch with Linux.
Probably you should follow Vahis' advice and use a stable version like
SUSE 10.0.
