  It's not on the Professional Disks either.  It's been covered a number
of times here on the list so you can check the archives for Suse+apt or
do a google search for it.  Fortunately Richard Bos, a member of this
list, is heavily involved in it, so you can be sure that there is
information available for Suse.
