Tips for an SUSE newbie?

Well I'm finally making the move to SUSE. I've been running Fedora / red hat for years. I'm currently installing open SUSE v10 on my new IBM Z60m thinkpad. I have a few questions.. I was able to add more yum repositories to fedora, is there an equivelant for SUSE? How about updating, do I stull use yum or are there other, better methods? Any general tips ? Thanks in advance for your advice...
