SUSE Studio — Linux Customization For the Masses

Posted by kdawson on from the rolling-your-own dept.

apokryphos writes "Novell just released the first alpha of SUSE Studio (screencast), which provides an easy way to customize your own Linux distribution with the software and configuration you want. Among other things, you can spin a Live CD, a USB image, or create a VMware image. It builds upon the already established openSUSE Build Service and KIWI imaging system."

      Dude, you are so full of shit, your eyes are brown. Microsoft does NOT own Novell in part nor in whole. Microsoft paid Novell in a cross license/agree not to sue our customers deal. Novell Paid MS in the same deal, just a lot less.

      MS thought they had a Tier 1 Linux vendor by the short hairs and sent press releases saying that Novell agreed that Linux infringed on their IP. Novell released their own stating "Go screw, no we don't" essentially.

      Short of the MS apologist, Miguel, Novell has not agreed with MS in many ways, however they have worked on interoperability with contributions to SAMBA as well as Open Office, to allow better MS Office compatibility for macros and such.

      Before you make yourself look EVEN STUPIDER, I suggest you stop talking.

    Actually, the screencast is at http://studio.suse.com/, not suse.studio.com, which is an adfarm that just struck gold.
