SuSe 9.3 / Re: [conspire] s MEPIS 3.3.1 t2 Gnu / Linux

[Daniel Gimpelevich]

The packman repository is one of many that are available for SUSE. The
link to find out all about apt repositories for SUSE and seamless
integration with YaST is:

http://linux01.gwdg.de/apt4rpm/

For RedHat/Fedora/RHEL, a repository with links to many other repositories
is:

http://www.atrpms.net/

If you have some other RPM-based distro, you might find some links for it
in the "Repositories" section on this site:
