Well technically any x.0 release is stable. In fact they are labelled Major.Minor, so 10.3 was the third 'minor release' after the major 10.0 release.
The latest stable openSUSE release is 11.0. Anything you've seen to the contrary would most likely be in relation to the fact the KDE 4.0 shipped with it and that itself was considered to be lacking in stability. If you use the Gnome desktop you should be fine with 11.0.

I have installed OpenSuse 10.3, is it also a stable system to use. What does "open" mean.

Open means that all the source code is available to you for what ever you want to use it for as long as you pass the same rights on to anyone you might distribute any changes you make.
