opensuse wiki may help.also for s/w updates

u have to use yum update manager and have to add repo for 3rd party plugins

and obvsly it is a rpm distro

good thing is yast-but it will eat time for all those configs.
it is really hard to shift from a debian based distro to rpm or tgz.

btw any idea abt.. Partitions and resolution

What Say abt. Mandriva or Fedora :

You can easily mount partitions through yast.
