I don't normally use apt, but i can give you a few basic things to start with.

Here's two links to get you started:

http://linux01.gwdg.de/apt4rpm/
http://susewiki.org/index.php?title=Install-apt4suse

When you say you had no luck with the rpms, do you mean that you couldn't install them, or you haven't gotten apt to work in general? The easiest way to install apt and apt-libs is probobly through YaST, if you have the proper respository added. Otherwise if you have both rpms downloaded already, you can go to the directory where the rpms are, log in as root, and type....

I think this is correct, maybe someone else can confirm it.

Oh yeah, if you'd like a gui for apt, you can install synaptic.
Good luck.....
