Which Repositories

I’m really enjoying Suse 11.1, and am learning alot thanks to these forums and everyone’s help. But I need some experience as to which of the long list of Repositories in YAST, I should be using/enableing for updates and for software in general. I’m sure there are favorites, but generally speaking as “defaults” ? Any suggestions or input is greatly appreciated, thank you so much.

Generally, the update repo for your release, the OSS repo, the non-OSS
repo (if you like), and packman are what I see recommended.

read/understand…

this particular question is pretty well answered under the heading of
“Repositories - openSUSE-Community” in the post #5 of that thread…
