You don't actually need to be running gnome, just have it installed. I 
personally prefer gnome over kde, but since you're knew to Linux, I'd 
suggest you stick with KDE.

Open Yast and select the option to install and remove software. Change 
the filter from 'Search' to 'Selections.'  Here you will find 'Gnome 
system' which is what you will want to install.

If you still want to get gnome running to check it out, once you install 
it, you should be able to select it from the X login window.  If your 
box boots directly to X, not requiring a login, it's a bit more involved.

Let me know if this is the case and I'll provide more info.
