So you've got that shiny new openSUSE 11.2 system up and running. Now what? The default repositories have plenty of software, but there's much more for openSUSE in community and semi-official repositories that you might find useful.
Managing Repositories
openSUSE comes with an enormous amount of software in the official repositories. But, sometimes you just need something that isn't in the default release. Either because the package isn't offered through the official repos, or because you want to track software that's ahead of the current release.
Adding a repository is a piece of cake. Just go to YaST (and give the admin password) and then select "Software Repositories" from the Software group. You'll see the list of configured repositories you have already.

Hi,
Yast in the brand new OSuSE 11.2 has a Webpin interface, adding repositories is no more needed.
I have also found Webpin neat but the number of repos are a little scarey. I think we need to rethink the way repos and the number of them work properly.
