After installing openSUSE 11.0

Things to do...

Setting up repositories:

For my machine I added the following repositories for my final build:
http://download.videolan.org/pub/vlc/SuSE/11.0 (VLC Media, restricted formats)
http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/KDE:/KDE4:/STABLE:/Desktop/openSUSE_11.0/ (KDE 4 Stable) Note: if this was not my workbox, I would actually do Unstable to get KDE 4.1
http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/Emulators:/Wine/openSUSE_11.0/ (Wine, for windows emulation)
http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/KDE:/Backports/openSUSE_11.0/ (KDE Backports, updates to Amarok and other KDE Applications)
http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/X11:/XGL/openSUSE_11.0/ (Compiz Fusion, staying up to date and hip with the most recent Compiz builds, I highly recommend since it’s constantly developed on)
http://ftp.skynet.be/pub/packman/suse/11.0/ (Packman, xinelibs / codecs and so much more)
http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/mozilla/openSUSE_11.0/ (Firefox, recent builds of Firefox)
http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/GNOME:/Community/openSUSE_11.0/ (Gnome Community, I use for Pidgin and GIMP)
http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/OpenOffice.org:/STABLE/openSUSE_11.0/ (OpenOffice is an important application for me since I use it daily for word processing or spreadsheets, keeping it up to date allows for the best compatabilities with people using restricted formats like xls/doc)
http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/Education:/desktop/openSUSE_11.0/ (Education - For Bluefish)
http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/KDE:/KDE3/openSUSE_11.0/ (KDE Stable repository, not sure why because not many changes should happen to the 3.5.9 family)

Here is a quick screenshot of my repositories:
Configured Repos

(Note: I am running KDE, if you are running GNOME, I highly recommend the following repo:
http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/GNOME:/STABLE/openSUSE_11.0/)
(Note: If you are running an NVIDIA card, setup the following repository:
ftp://download.nvidia.com/opensuse/11.0/)
(Note: If you are running an ATI card, setup the following repository:
http://www2.ati.com/suse/11.0/)
(Note: If you are running a wireless card that has a requirement for MadWifi, setup the following repository:
http://madwifi.org/suse/11.0/)

Setup your Video Card (if you have more configurations to do, ie Nvidia / ATI)
Install the packages that are associated with your NVIDIA / ATI card.

For me I downloaded the NVIDIA Driver from nvidia.com and installing running:
sudo sh NVIDIA-Linux-x86-173.08-pkg1.run
Since I had some issues with the 173.14 driver.
