I am a Debian User for long. However I've an wish to have a taste of OpenSuse too. But the most Important thing to know is. In Debian or any Debian based distros, problem of Broken Dependencies / Dependency hell are less common, But What about Suse ? Is it same too ? or yast is not that good as compared with apt-get. I've never used any rpm based distro. So How hard its gonna be for me ? and also whats the alternative of pppoeconf on suse or any other rpm based distro ?

The difference between Debian's .debs and .rpms as far as technology goes is pretty much Pepsi vs. Coke - i.e. almost none. YaST resolves dependencies for you just like apt-get does.

I believe what you are looking for is rp-pppoe (http://www.novell.com/products/linuxpackages/opensuse/rp-pppoe.html)

I'd go a step further and say that YaST is better than apt-get. – Brian Knoblauch Jul 26 '10 at 14:04
