I concur. For newbs such as myself installing/compiling programs is a daunting task. I've read about RPM and packaging etc. but a how to or "cook book" would be great. My attempts to install Ice Weasel and Putty have proved unsuccessful.
There is no need to compile in most of the cases. Here is the official documentation: <http://www.novell.com/documentation/opensuse102/> Click on the plus sign next to "Installing and setup" and then select Install or Remove software. There is section for additional package repositories. In other words you do nopt need to know anything about rug/zenworks etc. Use YaST, and later smart. You can find more info on opensuse.org site - search for "smart package manager". Of course, which package manager to use is matter of personal taste, but I really like smart.
