SUSE Studio - Make your own Linux

[Mrkvonic]

Hi all,

Time to go wild with imagination once again:

We have a review of SUSE Studio, a powerful Novell-sponsored service based on the Kiwi imaging system that allows everyone on any operating system to build SUSE-based appliances inside their browsers. You can even build your own Linux distro on Windows, if you like.

I have been using the KDE Four Live CD (http://home.kde.org/%7Ebinner/kde-four-live/), and I was wondering how to create my own Live CD, and here is a great way to do that.
Hopefully I get my key soon, and then I might create my own CD.
If it collects rpm's from the updated repositories, then this service creates an up to date installation CD, right?

Yes ... that should be it. Have fun playing with it!

Got my key, assembled a KDE-3.5 image.
I wasn't able to run an online testdrive, so I downloaded the ISO and did a local test. Quite impressive, just a few details that I had to iron out (and take notes to report back).
Actually, it's really great, I got my system installed from that live CD and it contains all the security updates and other fixes.
I also installed the NVidia driver and subpixel enabled freetype2. Looks like anything that can't be included by Novell/SuSE for legal reasons can be included on the custom live CD.

Very very nice and a lot of fun!
