This is getting very confusing. I personally like the Yast Repositories better an easier to use: http://www.opensuse.org/Additional_YaST_Package_Repositories
Hi Houghi,
It /is/ confusing to me sometimes, too, so don't feel bad. The way I've organized it in my head and on on my systems is YaST handles "official" SUSE packages, including the unsupported supplementary sources and security updates, and I use apt/synaptic to handle everything else.
I twice tried apt and killed my system, so I won't use it, unless I have to.
This wasn't planned, it was just a natural progression from YaST (pre-installed, of course) to later integrating apt into my routine.
The reason people use apt is because they were told that it was the easiest way. I have now found out that one tool (Yast) can do the same stuff that apt did. There just was not enough emphasis on the use of extra repositories, or even the use of repositories at all. Once you know how to add repositories, it is (at least for a beginner) the easiest way to go. Yast -> Change Source -> Add To know what to add, just look on the URL below.
I'll be following your progress and will probably be learning from you :-) Thanks for the effort!
