    Depends on what programs do you want to have available through YaST, Packman is a good source, you can also add the Guru repo which is also very big and with a lot of good packages like SMART (package manager, IMO better than YaST).

    You only need one Packman source, they're just mirrors. I too would recommend Smart, as more of the unofficial repositories are supporting it. So you get far more packages. It's also faster to use and has a command line interface like this
    Code:
    smart update
    smart upgrade
    smart install firefox
    Pretty excellent I'd say.
