Additional YAST Repository for Open SUSE
I finally found a home in Linux under SUSE (although I'm using Ubuntu now because my 8 year old nephew is using my SUSE box). I just can't help but be amazed by the ease of use and the availability of packages in SUSE. From Music editing, synthesizing music, drum beats, DVD burning, up to CAD drawings, SUSE has it... sometimes I would just think.. is there anything that SUSE can't do? But somehow, those powerful packages need to be added from external repositories (community based), and since I've been installing SUSE for friends and some customers, I have to blog the list of repositories for my easy access. Listed below are additional repositories with great software packages.
