    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.
    Regards
    Sid.
