SUSE Studio officially launched! Hooray!
If you've read the title, you probably guessed that Novell recently launched SUSE Studio officially. Well, you're right! The press release is here.
They've also released a very comprehensive press kit for SUSE Studio and the SUSE Appliance Program to provide a great deal of information about the services and their features. This should provide me with quite a bit of reading in the near future.
Cornelius Schumacher's blog also describes the SUSE Studio launch process in detail. While you are there, feel free to check out the rest of his blog. He seems like an interesting guy to follow.
I've been very impressed with SUSE Studio so far. It is an impressive online build service. I continue to use it for several builds that I am planning, and it has been working very well so far.
One feature that I would like to see implemented: MD5 sums! SUSE Studio has yet to implement the ability to check MD5sums of the created appliances before downloading them, so that downloads can be verified before deployment. I assume that they will implement this feature shortly.

Suse Studio
I recently gave a talk about Suse Studio at NEWLUG, which is my local Linux Users Group. Although I haven't been a big Suse user in the past, this new service has me excited and salivating at the different possibilities.
They have a variety of customized Linux build options, including on demand builds of VMWare virtual machines (which easily load in Virtualbox, by the way). It also allows you to create live CDs and DVDs, as well as hard drive images that can be installed on USB flash drives or directly to hard drives.
Amongst the potential uses:
- You could make your own portable portfolio live-DVD, complete with running code samples or other work.
- Purpose-built OS installs such as kiosks, educational disks, or development platforms built through a web browser instead of on an actual machine.
- Virtual machines built to compile and test software before rolling out on a larger scale.
- Honestly, the possibilities are limited solely by your imagination and the time you agree to put into it.
