I think I have called enough attention (and created a lot of confusion)
I noticed that if the installation of openSUSE is pretty easy, there are "post install" operation not so well documented and very usefull.
So I wrote this page:
http://en.opensuse.org/Installation_and_post_installation
Not being english native speaking, I have some difficulties, so feel free, of course, to fix it.
it needs also to be linked from relevant wiki pages, feel free to do.
This is a very very helpful approach. I thank you very much for what you have done. There is still a question in my head, maybe I am stupid: There is a link in your page and it linke to a page explains issue related to restricted formats, I see a warning there: Do not add external links to software packages that contain illegal software. Since openSUSE is sponsored by Novell, this means "illegal" in any jurisdiction that Novell carries on business. Here I have a question for people who might understand law better than me. What is the word 'illegal' mean actually to me? I live in China for 25 years, this piece of land never made the concept of illegal software very clear. Is mad library illegal? I'd like to say this is perfectly legal here because I don't think there is an mp3 patent in China. Reverse engineer is also perfectly legal here (welcome to China!). So, I work on this wiki page and add a link to a page introducing how to enable mp3 on Novell using mad and lame and all mp3 decode library I know. So I should ignore this warning, right? Well there might be a better solution than understanding the warning the Chinese way, that is when I have found all solutions I can go enrich this page: http://opensuse-community.org/Restricted_Formats/10.2 Which seems do not have a warning like that. Next job is to make sure the page have good keywords and google rank so everyone can find it easily. I'd like to make a Chinese version of that page too. This is the least I can do. For other ways, like recommending Novell to put non-oss the default repository and equip as much players as possible to use helix for mp3 engine which is legal, is what I cannot do.
