Actually, apt was ported by Connectiva to distributions with RPM package management -- you can visit the apt4rpm website for more information. There's also a site that's specifically geared toward apt on SUSE here:
http://linux01.gwdg.de/apt4rpm/

If you have the SUSE 10.0 DVD (not sure if it's on the CDs or not -- can anyone confirm?) then you can install apt, the Synaptic graphical frontend, and even an apt server if you want. I haven't really played around with apt much on SUSE, but I used to use it all the time on Red Hat since it didn't really have any equivalent tool. Yast2 seems to do a really good job with handling dependencies for installing Novell's official software, though for installing 3rd party stuff you'd probably be better off with apt.

Hope that helps!

You can also use apt with tgz (slackware) packages. Although a lot of rpm based distros can use apt, a lot choose not to due to problems with gpg checking.

Hi guys,

Just go to those URLs and follow the instructions. If you have clean system, then there would be no problems at all, updating/upgrading your system.

search for a rpm: install-apt4suse.rpm

Once installed you can use apt-get.
