Hey you Linux folks out there,

sry for asking these really bad nooby questions, but i dont get the hang of it...
Today i got my new Notebook with Linux Suse Entertainment Desktop 11 OS. I thought myself : " Now its the time to go with the time and use LINUX"... 
Its not as easy as i thought. The use of the main functions is as easy as on windows, but i even dont know how to download things for linux. I read about linux using packagers doing all the stuff a normal dl link + exe install does. But how to do it exactly. My OS has YaST. Is this the packager i need ?! And where to put or what ever i have to do with it :

[Emulators_Wine]
name=Wine (SLE-11)
type=rpm-md
baseurl=http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/Emulators:/Wine/SLE-11/
gpgcheck=1
gpgkey=http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/Emulators:/Wine/SLE-11/repodata/repomd.xml.key
enabled=1

Please help me kindly. Im not one of those "i have a problem and dont want to look for it myself" asker. I would not ask if i didnt know what to do any further.

I would likely stay on linux. but i need my made for windows games be running on this notebook ;).

Yours faithful, Aethilion
