SUSE Studio — Linux Customization For the Masses 126

Posted by kdawson on Monday January 26, 2009 @08:19PM 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."

Apparently the site only creates Linux distributions. It would be nice if you could roll your own windows cd, too. I'll file both bugs right now.

We have detected that the browser you are using, Opera, is not officially supported. Currently, for the alpha of SUSE Studio, we only support Firefox 2 and 3, and Safari 3.
Other browsers which will most likely work are the various Gecko & WebKit based browsers (Epiphany, Konqueror (with kde4-webkitpart), Camino) AND OPERA.
WTF!

I put this script together a while back to help me relive the days of quality slashdot content.

curl --silent http://feeds.digg.com/digg/container/technology/popular.rss http://feeds.digg.com/digg/container/science/popular.rss http://feeds.digg.com/digg/container/gaming/popular.rss | grep -e "<title>digg.com: Stories" -e "<link>http://feeds.digg.com" | sed -e '/<title>digg.com/s//slashdot.org/g' -e '/<\/title>/s///g' -e '/<link>/s///g' -e '/<\/link>/s///g'

Yes, I'm kidding, Yes, it works.

First time I've ever seen something using OpenID, and it refused to let me login. Dang alpha signup.

"Your browser is not officially supported We have detected that the browser you are using, Microsoft Internet Explorer, is not officially supported.

Dude, we thank you for telling us...even though I don't know if I'd admit to using IE. You are buh-rave!
