You're probably right, but I've needed some software that I did not found
into these 3 repositories. But now I would consider if I really need all of
them.

If I can't find it, what I do is first go to
http://software.opensuse.org/search and look for it there and if that
doesn't work I go to http://packages.opensuse-community.org/

I think the first is a bit better. They are working on a new version of
the second one, which will look more like the first one.

The HUGE advantage of that is that you can find software pretty fast and
it is easier to use when using Firefox. It is in the search options.
Some genius opend a bugreport and asked to add it and they did. :-D

If the repo is already added, it will just use that. If it isn't added,
it will add it.

So there is really no need to add anything at all. It will be done
automagically and add only those things you need.
