I think it would be very helpful if SuSE had something as straightforward as the ubuntuguide...a SuSEguide. The first part would help users set up YaST with extra repos (like Guru and Packman and anything else that might be needed or useful), and also do the same with apt4rpm or yum or the other popular package managers used by SuSE. The next part would, like the ubuntuguide, go through and help setup things like codec support, java, and various programs and apps that users might want but not know how to get. The idea would be to have something that is super repetitive, so that the processes will become second nature to the user.
I think such a SuSEguide would be really helpful to new users and Windows-converts and for the older newbs (like me) who might have forgotten how things work in SuSE after trying out other distros.
I would be interested in writing something like this together with you on the wiki. What should we call it? "SUSEguide"? I am a approximately the same level as you in regards to linux proficiency, so anyone a wee bit more experienced would be a welcome addition to the "team". -- Regards Kenneth Aar
