For this month’s Salt Lake Linux Users Group meeting I’ll be presenting on SUSE Studio. The announcement follows:

Hi everyone,

This month's Salt Lake Linux Users Group (SLLUG) meeting will be an introduction to SUSE Studio.

Have you ever wanted to make your own live CD? A specialty Linux
Appliance? A bootable USB Linux distro or virtual machine image
customized to exactly what you want?  SUSE Studio makes it incredibly
easy to do.

With it, you have the ability to add you own RPMs to a base image or
select from several repositories available in the openSUSE Build
Service. You can brand and customize your distro as well.

Does your company have a Linux product they want to support but find
many problems stem from a variety of unknown software beneath the
product or resulting from incompatible libraries found in older or
unsupported/tested distributions? Your company could control everything
in a single supported environment and distribute as a live CD or virtual
machine image solving the issues completely or just make an easy way for
customers to test-drive a product.

I'll give a brief introduction to SUSE Studio to help you get started.
