new to Linux you probably should read about the primary tool in
openSUSE for software and system management named YaST in
http://en.opensuse.org/Concepts

actually, that whole section will be useful to you..as will (probably)
most of the links in the thread at: http://tinyurl.com/6jwtg9

and, there is the Official openSUSE 11.1 Start-Up guide at
http://www.novell.com/documentation/...0_startup.html

you will find that YaST can access a variety of repositories (aka:
repos) of online software...and, mostly you need only four repos
enabled...

i guess if you have those four enabled and open YaST and go Software
Management > WAIT, it takes a while to initalize, then > search
asterisk you will find it, and if you've read about how to use YaST it
will be EASY to install...simple really...just click on asterisk in
YaST to place a checkmark next to it, then click "Accept"...done..

if it is not found in YaST it might be available from
http://software.opensuse.org/search from which you can download an
'rpm' file which you can also install with YaST, this way:

-download the file
-find it (where did you download to?) right click it
-in the pop up menu choose Actions > Install with YaST
-give root password and watch..

as far as how to setup and use Asterisk...i have no idea, but i guess
there is documentation for it, also...if you run into trouble someone
here might be able to help..

-welcome-
take your time...lots to learn..
