rpm as the command is your friend. Plus the usual tools like YUM,
smart, apt4rpm, or fou4s.
BUT: With out a valid customer account you will not have access to the
current, updated RPM files. That's the service we get paid for (= my
bread and butter). And a seven (IIRC) years maintained product creates
a huge workload.
If you can not pay for SLES you might consider to use openSUSE. But
then you have from time to time to comensate money (you saved by not
paying for SLES) with your time.
You also can not compare the updates provided for openSUSE and SLES as
Service Packs are limited to SLES.
