Hacking OpenSUSE
DesktopLinux.com has an excellent article titled: Hacking OpenSUSE. It details what is needed to truely make SUSE linux into a real desktop linux distro. Basically the article explains how to install some of the essentials like the Java JRE and how to set up SUSE to play Flash, RealMedia, Windows Media, MP3s and DVDs.
I think the help that I got from the article was from the part that describes how to add extra sources to YaST making software installation a breeze.
