  again, as a relative suse newbie, i'm wondering what people consider
the *fundamental* package management tools in opensuse/SLES/SLED.

  from a long history with red hat/fedora, i can do anything i want
with "rpm" and "yum".  i'm not a big fan of graphical front ends, when
those two commands will do pretty much everything i need.

  when i recently got into debian, my first reaction was ... what the
heck?  dpkg.  apt-get.  aptitude.  dselect.  etc, etc.  so i learned
the minimum of what i needed, and that was fine.

  with suse, so far, i'm working with "rpm" and "zypper".  david
rankin highly recommended installing "webpin" so, in a nutshell, what
do people consider the must-have package management utilities for
suse systems?  thanks.
