On this matter, I'd just like to add my two cents and say this:
Don't run SuSE without apt4rpm.
It mimics the functionality of Debian's apt in large part, and is an absolute requisite part of a SuSE install for a lot of people, including myself.
Using a single command that will download and install a program and all of its dependencies is almost infinitely preferable to the alternatives, and if you add good repositories, you get access to a much wider base of installable software.
I'd recommend it very highly, and indeed do not run SuSE without it myself. If you decide to use apt4rpm and want help getting it set up, I'd be pleased to lend a hand/shell script.
