no, you compare windows with a linux machine
don't do that !

easy installing software:
first you don't want to download rpm by hand.
add Repositories & then you can search over yast itself ;-)
http://en.opensuse.org/Package_Repositories

yast - software - installation source --> give url like
http://download.opensuse.org/distribution/10.2/repo/oss/


I have for openSUSE 10.2 @ a mirror in belgium:
