have you yet asked Boxee why their Linux download is a .deb file, only
(for Debian, *buntu and etc)?
or, why they don’t also post non-distro specific .rpm files?
or best yet, why they don’t offer source files? that way the openSUSE
build service could compile from source a (focused & tested) openSUSE
package and place same in one of the official repos??
and, while you are waiting for an answer (good luck) you could try to
use alien to install their .deb here…and, you would not be the first
to attempt that, so maybe you will be successful (i have no idea if it
is possible as i didn’t take the time to needed read any of the
~177,000 hits from a google on this string:
boxee openSUSE alien install
see: http://www.google.com/search?q=boxee+openSUSE+alien+install
and, when the answers have been dug out and a successfully
installation is in hand, it would be nice if any of the posters to
this thread shared the how by posting it to the Unreviewed How To and
FAQ forum, here:

I found this tutorial:
Compiling Boxee 0.9.11.5777 on openSUSE 11.*
But I can’t compile it :
So if we have source code, maybe someone could create a rpm file?
> if we have source code, maybe someone could create a rpm file?
let me suggest you take a tour around the openSUSE Build Service
https://build.opensuse.org/
http://en.opensuse.org/Build_Service
and if you run into problems, ask in
http://forums.opensuse.org/opensuse-build-service-obs/
i’ve never used it, so i can’t be more helpful…sorry…
