That's the normal way, however there are some source files that are
setup to allow building rpm's via "rpmbuild -ta source.tar.bz2" or .tgz
oe .tar.gz. I try the rpmbuild first, if that doesn't work, I fall back
to the other method. Largely it's the same most all distros, except some
like debian that do not use rpm, the ./configure etc. works for all.
SuSE is Linux like the others, just that each distro has a few
ease-of-use special apps they've developed - citing YaST, apt, Mandrake
Control Center, RedHat whatever-it's-called.

Sid.
