    Internet Repositories?

    OK... I have been testing distros and believe that I am settling on openSuse. The one problem is that I cannot find what to do to add repositories to Synaptic for oS. I mean... for the other distros I can generally search online and find something, but oS that just isn't the case. Are there repositories for adding the various software, and making sure that it is up to date? For example, media files (codecs), software, etc.?

    I did the DVD install and that is the only repository in my lists... it is driving me nuts. Please advise...

    There's no Synaptic or APT in SuSE by default, theu use YaST to install the packages but you can also use something better like smart Check this
