Bit new to Suse

Hi, Been using mandrake for a few years and would like to become a suse user. Running sue 9.0. On mandrake there are men/women who create improved rpms for some software and make it available on their sites for download and direct install. I have been running a kernel 2.6.xx.xx for quite a while on MDK 9.2. Now being used in MDK 10. I take it that there must be same poeple on suse. My system is up to date as of online update today. Kindly may I have some special sites that have these improved software for suse 9.0 install please. Thanks -- Johan Registered Linux User #330034 May this be a good day for learning
